The Last Dance

[Iron Patch]

And I still have two left feet... at least as far as killer finds is concerned. However, I certainly had the chance and had a good time getting out with some of the local (fairly local) crew for a multi day hunt and at least it's a post! (MANY of my hunts this year weren't worth talking about)

My more interesting finds are a cut silver pendant possibly from a 6 pence, center part of a shoe buckle and I have never dug a complete one so was a little bitter over it, couple George coppers, key date 1858 Canadian large cent (would be pretty decent but has a very poor edge), Militia button, Snuff box? (was from an early site) and what at first glance I thought was a British 71st Tombac Officer button (design has a large 7 with raised small 1 and silvered designed edge border) but ended up just being yet another tease for the year. This for the most part is the end for detecting for me for quite a while but there is 3 fields left to hit so maybe, just maybe, something great will be waiting.

The last picture is all the stuff that got in the way. After I shot the pic I didn't realize I hadn't even emptied my last three days worth, so yes, it was lots of digging!

We're taking a week off, as we've pretty much been at it for the last week straight. That takes us to about the third week in Nov. and generally we're frozen up the first or second week in Dec.. So time is ticking, but there's still a few places we want to hit. As for the coins they are all pretty toast and already mixed in with my other crusty coppers. Not much to see anyway.

The Last Dance was a good one! Lots of great relics! Dirtyville must be pretty far north. The ground still isn't frozen in Connecticut yet.

North for sure, and the weather during these hunts was beautiful with the exception of wind and sideways rain on Friday... but by fluke that happen to be our travel day. The thing is the temps. will change extremely fast and based on the last 11-12 years I know we're going to be shutdown somewhere in the 1st to 3rd week of Dec.. Only once have we hunted in Jan. and that was on the 1st after some freak warm weather - we had already been shut down for weeks but it opened up for a few more hunts. That happening is probably rarer then my rarest find.
