Hello all. It drizzled cold rain almost the whole time we were there today - been waiting quite a while for this particular field to become available. I dug this SUPER SWEET 1827 dime and WT SCARBOROUGH 10 cents store token, a broken rifle sling piece, several flatbuttons, sash buckle pieces, cannon friction primer pieces, a couple of rivets, a pewter thimble, and a piece of lead sabot. Some of the pieces were found on a very short exploratory hunt the other day. The styles of the buttons [tombacs] and coins found at the site date this particular field back to around 1800 or maybe a little before. We're digging pieces of house brick in a few of the holes, so an old house or other building must have stood there at one time. Frank did ok too, but i'll leave it to him to tell you about it.
We might have got a little wet, but it was worth it! It's probably my last hunt for the year, and i cannot think of a better way to close out the year with finds like these. We'll try it again sunday. Thanks for reading and looking, and good luck!
