Had a banner coin day with little trash yesterday at my old Orange Grove Plantation permission. Had another days hunt with smallfoot, who had another rock'n day himself!
Here is the best dig, on video! https://photos.app.goo.gl/JWc4uYqRRyNbSXC79
Ending with this being dug out of the hole:
Along with these Wheat Cents; 1915, 1925, 1941, 1945, 1952, 1957. Funny, the worst condition is the '57!
This day marks the 4th "Box Axe" I have found so far. These were used when the area's pine trees were used to collect sap from them. The sap would be literally distilled, with the steam gases being collected forming turpentine, and residue left made into rosin. I have been told that Box Axes were stopped being used prior to 1910. I have also found two standard wood axe heads!
I also unearthed three chunky pieces of copper, which thickness range between 7/32" - 1/4". I filed the edge of one piece, and a corner, and it is solid copper through & through. Trying to determine what these could possibly be a part of. As you see, they are fairly flat. The Fourth piece is a tapered piece of brass/bronze. Tapered from 3/8" to 1/4", and about 1-1/4" wide with partial holes at each end of the 3" in length piece.
And yet another half of a silver plated copper/brass pocket watch case; a key, and a "what'z it"?
