A few weeks ago I was talking with one of the ladies from where I do some volunteer work. When I learned that she was interested in finding out what was in the ground around her house, I volunteered my assistance. At the time, I had no idea where she lived. When I found out just where it was, I could barely believe it. Suffice it to say that it is very likely the most significant site I will ever have the opportunity to visit. I've had 3 good hunts there. The first time there, in less than 5 minutes, I dug the first target---a U.S. Belt plate with arrowhead hooks. The first thing I dug (where do you go from there?). I've gotten a really nice assortment of bullets including a couple of 69 cal., a cleaner (without the bottom base), a pulled/wormed bullet, a 44 cal revolver, a 36 cal revolver, a round ball, and a fired round ball (my first one). Notice the one flattened bullet (maybe a game piece?) I've also gotten 2 axe heads. Also a couple of really nice coins---an 1856 Seated Liberty dime and a 1900 "O" Barber quarter. First 3 pics are from hunt #1. The next 3 pics are from hunt #2. The next pic is a combo of some items from #1 and #2. The last pics are from yesterday's hunt. A really nice NY State Seal Excelsior Button, more bullets, 2 more button backs and 1 front, and all the other stuff you dig. Those couple of pics of that iron object, I don't know what it is. I've already had a lot of "firsts" at her property---the 69's, the coins, the revolver bullets, the NY button, the pulled bullet and the cleaner. When you take in to factor that all of this (except 2 of the bullets) came out of just a relatively small portion of the front yard, it is incredible. There are a few acres. I feel extremely lucky to have this opportunity. Can't wait to go back again. Sorry that the pics are not the best. Everything is being given to the landowner, so I don't have a chance to get really good ones. I want to help her get a nice display. I think she is going to have a really nice one.
