I've been getting out detecting whenever I'm not working. I will get out there until the ground freezes solid. I enjoy the cold because the ticks are done and can wade into scrub now without leaves. I dress in a full orange parka with matching hat to minimize becoming a casualty of deer and waterfowl hunters.
After discovering a 1722 Rosa Americana a few weeks ago I have been coming up empty-handed for spectacular finds. Still the usual musket balls, nails, horse shoes and the like. I do feel dejection when spending the day in the fields without a score but by the next morning I am ready to swing again.
I'm working around NE costal wetlands first settled in the mid-1600's with many interesting cultural layers. Last Sunday I found these buried dog collar pieces which were probably worn by a hunting retriever. Looking for some guesses on a date range. I can guess the B stands for the Bennett clan which occupied this area for many years beginning in the colonial period with some descendents still around.
