Recent finds during a visit to Ohio

[Steve in PA]

I was recently in the Fort Loramie, OH area and had the opportunity to walk a field on a local farm. Mostly bits and pieces, but still fun to find

I was out there for a controlled dig on a historical site that involved 4x4 foot squares, metal detectors, and sifters. But in between digging I would walk the cornfields off and on over 3 days. Probably a total of 4 hours altogether.

Well.. that's nearly 3 points an hour. Thanks for posting

Just curious, did the archaeologist say anything to you about surface hunting? Some don't mind and some are against it.

Looks like you picked up some nice pieces.

Did you find anything from the controlled dig ? They dig a little slower than me and I always forget that little horse hair bristle brush, haha

There weren't professional archaeologists on this dig. It was run by amateur archaeologists who grew up in Ohio surface hunting for artifacts.

The controlled dig produced buttons, musketballs, gunflints, etc. from the US military occupation 1794 to 1815.
