Just thought I would give an update to the finds we have made at the early British/provincial army camp that I found about a month ago. Have made about 3 ore trips there and finds have definitely decreased-as stated on the video many of you watched, the main camp is about400 feet from where we do have access and still working on getting access to that site.
Nothing earth shattering-mostly musket balls but also have found a nice knee buckle, cuff-size blow hole button and a very nice, fully intact and open jack knife. Greg's was found closed and we have also found two others that are partial. These must have been issued as they are all very similar. The quality of the iron however is very thin and it was best to use apple cider vinegar instead of electrolysis that would have completely eaten the metal.
One surprise was what we thought was a KG half-penny that Greg found turned out to be a 1710-1712 French 6 deniers.
Once we get back, will keep posting-thanks for looking and appreciate all the comments.
