Hello fellow safarians, haven't been on the forum in months.
Well here are some of the things I haven't been posting. The large buckle, (and I do mean large.) was one the most unique finds imo, it's a shame that it is broken and missing a section of frame. You'd really have to hold it and see it in person to appreciate the size of it.
I also found a Parys Druid head half-penny. 1789, it's pretty beat up but enough to easily ID. Engraved into the rim of the coin it says payable in Anglesey London or Liverpool. Some pics of injuns in nice shape, and one 1882 injun that was in the same area but didn't quite hold up as well LOL. Always amazes me that you can find the same type of coins in an area and some are destroyed while others look fine. The strange tube looking thing is a musket rod guide... thought that was pretty neat too. I'll spare you all of the mercury dimes I've found at colonial sites... at one site I found 3 in one hole, nothing like seeing three silvers at the bottom of the hole and there all mercs! (Thank you sir may I have another? WHACK!). Don't get me wrong i like finding mercs... but when you get that small silver sound in an area that should be holding bust coins and reales the mercs can be a small letdown. Anyway here's some dirt porn. HH
Thanks for posting and the pix.
