New permission

[Joe-Dirt]

Got out with two buddy’s after doing a presentation at the historical society last night. Anyway, we bumped into a guy who owns a 120 acre farm on the opposite hill from the 1700’s tavern site we’ve been hitting the last few years. Anyway, they moved a lot of dirt around, finds were few and far between, even clad was elusive. I did manage a shoe buckle, a tombac button and a sterling spoon with the owner initial (K). My buddy’s got a thin gold wedding band, complete knee buckle, pocket knives and a bunch of buttons not shown

That's alot of ground to cover but there's got to be more out there....it looks daunting....

Looks like a promising site. I hope you get back out there to see what secrets it holds, I'm sure there's plenty! Good luck!

Firstly it looks a good place to detect & you had a great start.

Second, you stated ''presentation at the historical society'' which not only gives back to the community but you never know where it will lead. We do these types of things & often get asked 'how much do we charge?' The answer is always nothing or if they insist we get them to give to their favourite charity. However, on a few occasions we get offered land without asking.

We picked up a few permissions doing this. My buddy has been doing the lions share of the work but the town did a Halloween festival and featured the story of the long forgotten tavern and it’s famous patrons as a focal point. We spent the last two years hunting the spot where it once stood. The historical society thought the tavern was just behind the newer one built in 1806 ( I think) but we proved to them it was several hundred yards away on a hill top and now in the middle of a hayfield. The iron patch is huge and when we detect we just go as slow as we can. We have dug many counterfeit coins including KGII, KGIII’s and Connecticut coppers. Anyway, cool place in a real old New England town.

That's a great account about the tavern. I imagine there were left over wood fragments and a ton of nails?

Nice digs and a really nice looking place to hunt!

 

[JeffInMass]
