Well, maybe not quite a record but I can't recall a single hunt where I've found this many coins...even a silver! Everything from George II to an Indian Head. A couple are in decent condition and the 10 cent would be mint if it hadn't come out of the ground. Also got a few buttons, an ink well and a handfull of relics including a nice crotal bell and what may be a black powder measure. The tiny porcelain baby is beyond small...

The best of the day was chatting with the land owner who gave me lot's of intel for future hunts. Fun day!

Wow that's a great day right there!!! Still waiting for one of those myself haha!!!
 

DIG MAN DIG ! ! !

What are you doing here ?

***AARC hands Romeo-1 a flashlight***
 

That's the kind of hunt that would have me looking for a hotel room, , so I could get back to that site again the next day.
Excellent hunt
 

Any print on the bottom of that inkwell ?
 

NICE!!! That's a plate full then some! Congrats!
That's a fertile field for finds, great ones!
And your not done! Woo hoo!!!!
 

That place appears to be infested with targets. I know where you'll be swinging for a while. You sure scored big time.
 

Wow! That place looks is giving up some great finds...keep swinging and digging!
 

A power hunt there...no shortage of targets, gotta love digging this time of year but a hunt like that...just fun!
 

That's a lot of coins...with a nice oldie in the mix...and a great condition silver as well...congrats on a great hunt
 

Wow. I found the exact same little white statue here about two weeks ago.

You really had a great hunt and at this time of the year it's a killer for sure. Liking the nice mix of finds and coppers topped off by the very fine Lady silver.
 

That's a great Vicky dime. Canadian Victorian Silver is very tough to coax out of the ground, get more spanish.
And the baby, baby is pretty cool.
 

Very cool productive hunt, sweet stuff!
 

you were busy nice few bits , well done :icon_thumright:
 

The inkwell actually came from a different site than the rest of the finds. I was checking out another area to see if the plow had been through which is close to an abandoned falling down house. The house has been vacant since the 1970s and has been falling into the ground since then. This past summer I was able to get a lightning rod off the roof and was waiting for the structure to fall a little more to get a second rod. When I arrived yesterday the entire area had been bulldozed...but somehow this inkwell survived intact...an amazing find considering!
