I have already found a place in one of my cases for these latest finds. This new site has been very good to me over the past month (really just 6 or 7 half day digs). The plate of relics behind the two piles are from another site and all the glass is still being cleaned and pieced. The pipe stems have their own home - but I probably found close to 100 of them.

WOW, A really sweet gathering of colonial relics HomeGuardDan! Good work:thumbsup:
 

Now that is what FUN Looks like.
 

That's awesome! Gotta love anything from that period of time.
 

my god!! I need to go with you hunting! nice finds!!
 

Wow Dan - those finds took up plenty of real estate in your display cabinet. Better make sure you have room for the additional finds we're gonna make soon.
 

That sure was a ton of holes you dug, great to have a site with so much to offer

No doubt there's still some more to add to the pile!

I do hope so - there is still a chunk of the property that we have not ventured to yet. Thus far we have found three sites on it, two paid off nicely, the other was a bust and quite odd. Debris everywhere, some iron, but only a few musket balls (fired) and a large cent (1840s) that Bill recovered. I did also find the leg to a copper kettle there.

Your odd site may have been a stable or workshop type if building, maybe just a storage building or something dedicated for a single purpose, such as a smokehouse or icehouse

Initially we thought that but there were all the visible signs, pottery, glass, pipestems. Nothing like the other two in the way of debris field. I think it was just a smaller home site that was used less.
 

Wow---having that many good targets must be a blast.

Some great stuff mixed in there... keep at it and GL !!!!!

Prolly a BANNER find there somewhere in the ground yet to be found.
 

That is a sweet pile of relics.What kind of coins have you guys been finding?

Dan will have to verify, but we've dug 2 cut silvers (early 1700s), and at least 8 coppers (not counting IHs) including 4 KGs, 2 Va halfpennies, and 2 LCs. Hopefully more to come.
