Got on a new permission last night about 40 min before darkness and hit some nice keepers. Believe I found the cabin site while the big 1760s farm house was being constructed. Had all the right indicators with a small unlined depression in the ground with a slight rise within a small stonewall squared section of the property. First 2 targets were big coat buttons, then a shoe buckle frame. Right next to the depression I dug a large 1793 Ecu from France and ten feet from that a holed 1721 King Philip 1 real or pisterine. Last target for the evening was an 1820s era eagle infantry militia button. We’ll see what shows up later this afternoon.

Very nice and both will clean up great! A few minutes in lemon juice and they'll look much better.
 

Excellent 18th century coins and finds! I can't see what surfaces next! :notworthy:
 

Awesome...so many great finds in such a short time, I would not be able to sleep that night in anticipation of the next hunt!
 

Amazing coins! Congratulations! P.S. Post some cleaned pics after the lemon juice.
 

Wow, very nice finds!! You never know what’s gonna pop out in New England
 

Isn't it rather a 6 Livres coin from 1793? They are the same size I believe, just a different name.

Should be a banner. That coin is similar in size to Spanish 8 Reales coin.
 

Looks like a very promising spot for some more great finds!!!! :occasion14:
