Hey folks. I've been inspired by Romeo1 to hunt the shoreline at the site of a loyalist landing/gristmill/shipping port. To me, this is uncharted territory. Usually I hunt fields but after seeing what he has been posting, I wanted a piece of that pie too. It paid off! First signal was a really toasted large copper. Then came three Musketballs, a ton of lead, then the 1815 half penny. "Genuine British Copper ". Nabbed the 1927 Confederation medal which is my second one to date. Found a two ringer, pistol ball, and a huge honker of a lead ball. Eyeballed some marbles and dug a few flat buttons. There's a crapload of old broken bottles and pottery everywhere. Got the compulsory flatware...a couple of old forks...no spoons this time, oddly enough! When I was sorting my finds, I came across an odd shaped piece of lead which I thought was a fired musketball. Cleaned it up and discovered that it's an acorn carved from a musketball!! One of my favorite finds ever! Thanks for the inspiration Romeo!! Thanks for looking and HH
