Marc and I hit the Colonial sites.... and Marc got hit back!

[Iron Patch]

Frenchy Marc finally made it to my area to do some detecting and even though my regular digging bud and I weren't looking to abuse him ...we did, had to. Yesterday we had a couple of fields in mind, got an early start, grabbed some coffee and made our way to the spot.

Note.... We did an hour hunt the night before and being in a rush I forgot my shovel which Marc said was going to be fuel for his post... well that changed... it no longer mattered.

So we arrive at the first site, drink the coffee, and I cross the ditch into the field and wait for Marc. I turn around to see him lose his footing and the detector & shovel go flying and him fall completely stretched out at my feet... not to mention seeing the great fear in his eyes. Holy %&#%! I laughed and it carried into the next day.... just about once an hour. The only thing that could have made it funnier is if I would have called him out as if he was sliding into third base.

Unfortunately "Face Plant Field" didn't work out for finds so we moved on to idea 2... which did.

Man did we have a blast.... coffee, pizza, beer, rum, old finds and one banged up Frenchmen!

The finds are... couple 1800s Tokens, an 1814 Great Britain which is a first for me, cut George III copper & 1806 large George III Penny, buttons, thimbles, musket part, bullet, musket balls etc..

Kirk PA... please see if you can ID the last coin. I think it might be one of those rare 1870 Tiffin tokens.

Yeah best so far for sure but there's still time and I got a couple real good areas in mind for the next two months.

Thinking a few came this way. (9th cob)

Yes but it wasn't enough to keep Marc from tipping over. He walks better drunk.

You find any corn to go with the Cob? Nice I.P. and you are one Kickass Canadian Cob digger upper. Wait a minute...You forgot your shovel so you must have coaxed these finds to dig themselves up. WOW DUDE you are good.

The reason I forgot my shovel was Marc was just getting into town and the sun was going down... and we wanted to hunt for a bit. In the hurry to get going I forgot my shovel. The cob was found the next day when we had a full day out.... and my shovel in hand!

 

[allen]

looks like another great hunt for you !!!

Looks like a great hunt! I'm gonna vote banner!!!! Maybe if you found that cob south of the border, it would have already made the banner.
Finding one here in Manitoba would be impossible! You guys out East have all the luck!
WTG.

We'll wait until tomorrow to see what happens before starting a revolution.

I think it's not on because Kirk PA hasn't rubber stamped it yet!
