battle site finds

[birdman]

I got the OK to get out this afternoon so I took off like a crazy man before the wife found more chores for me. LOL I have been getting a little hunting after work but it was nice to be able to get out for a few hours straight. I was doing pretty good till after about an hour and a half ,my shovel broke. O well you win some ,you lose some. I was pretty lucky and found a good place. It is part of the 1793 battle site that they are doing some construction on. I found 6 minnie balls,three buckles,one coin(1924 2 phenning),a couple of lead seals (for goods) ,one carved minnie(cut into a wedge) and a couple of buttons.One has a 17 on it but you can hardly see it. I would have done a little better if I would have had a whole shovel for the last hour.LOL It was a great day,the weather was perfect and I found a good spot.Thanks for looking and happy hunting.

Nice finds Bman and good you got out! I really like those lead seals, your better embossed seal says "GEBR" translates to "Brothers Feitel". HH, Mike

Birdman,

Neat assortment of finds. Too bad you lost your weapon to dig, a good shovel is about as important as a good detector.

How's the new addition to the family? Hope all is well.
