I haven't done much hunting the last month+ because of how short we are at work and water being high so no water hunts. I had someone back out of letting me hunt a spot I've wanted to hit for a long time but such is life.
I went to a spot that had Rev. Troops march and the house there is late 1700s. I've hit a bunch but wandered closer to the cliff where I haven't hit and thought maybe troops could have marched. The first day I took the Simplex which I've never hunted with and I was pleasantly surprised. I found an old horseshoe, tack buckle, Indian cent, 1820s-1830s button, and 1819 LC. So weird because nothing was ever there as far as I know not to mention it is not flat for anything to sit there.
I went back today with the Nox and hit in the same area. Buddy was there on his side by side shooting the breeze when I got a great hit and told him it's probably a LC. I dig and find a piece of iron but say no way that was iron and sure enough in the plug was a 1846 LC. The musketball wasn't far from the LC. The property is so huge and finds are bizarre. Finding this stuff basically on a steep slant and a bunch of late 1800 silvers in another spot of the property. Still no Rev. period items but I'm sure they're there.
