Had an amazing year end surprise. Decided to try one of my fields where I have previously found some 65th Regiment buttons and relics. The ground was just good enough to dig without breaking the shovel but the machine was working like a charm, no false signals what so ever. Managed to find the tiniest relics at a considerable depth.
Found my second Spanish of the year 1 Real 1781. Not in a perfect shape but I actually prefer it this way. My first bent Real. Was curious about it as it seemed like someone scratched an X on it. Wondered at first if it was a counterfeit coin,but after arriving home confirmed it's a ''Real'' deal.
Super happy with it, as this year I was dangerously low on Spanish silver.

An other bonus were the pewter buttons. For some reason Deus just loved them in the frozen ground. Got a few 1785-1795 enlisted men pewters. British 65th Regiment of foot.
Near lunch time decided to visit a spot I have found some Fur trade items. It's a good 30 min drive from the field but knowing I won't be able to visit it again this year decided to give it a try. Was happy to find my first Trade axe of the year and the biggest one so far.
An other interesting find was an old religious medallion that I believe is Catholic.
Than to an other field. Nothing exceptional but a bunch of very cool relics.
My smallest ever horse shoe. Probably used in the squirrel cavalry.
And its bigger brother. Never seen this type of horse shoe before.

A few cool relics.
A nice little hunt! One more to go this season. I'll be making an other post in a few days.
Thanks for the comments !
