Rick and I found out that the farmer was selling off a piece of his farm that held a very productive site. Now Rick and I have hit this site fairly hard in the past but this time we were like a couple of brain surgeons, slowly and methodically going over every square inch of the house site and surrounding area investigating any suspect signal to see if we have missed anything.....and we did.
I managed to find 4 more crusty coppers (most likely George III but can't tell for sure), a beautiful Navy button from the late 1700s and early 1800s, some nice tombac buttons and a pewter button that was cast from a 1 reale coin. Rick had found one last year as well in about the same condition.
The other usual items were also there like the musket ball (fired), a nice little baby spoon, some black glass and feathered edge porcelain. Too bad we are going to loose this site, word is the new owners are going to plant grapes.
