The nibbles Romeo left for me - Updated with the rest and a Nasty Tease

[Iron Patch]

Updated...

I'll spare you the large pile of twisted metal and lead.

Check out the last pic. We were hunting a Loyalist site that has given up a dozen Rev Pewters in the past and I eyeball this! (last pic below) I called Romeo to make the walk from about 100 feet to come check out what I found and believed to be the unveiling of my find of the week. It turned out to be one huge tease and the last high I had (well near had) during the digs.


Original Post...

I've finally caught my breath enough from saying YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME enough to post. The guy has about 7 rabbits, 6 hats, a Spanish silver and a belt plate, did I forget anything? (oh there's still 2 days to go)

Anyway, enough about the detecting God's chosen one, and here's what I managed to dig up. Didn't get many coins but this 1820 Irish token and 3 pre-1760s French (Acadian) Bale Seals. The bottom is Compagnies De Indes, an Acadian trading company.

I really need a big score in the next two days but it's a tall order trying to compete with a belt plate.

Re: The nibbles Romeo left for me

Actually those finds are great, just don't compare with Romeo's The Irish is in good condition for your area and I like the Naval button, the RP was a good find and the bale seals are probably the nicest of the bunch for the day! Today, will be your day IP...........(maybe)

I only wish every one reading these posts could see these days through mine and my other hunting buds eyes. Romeo dug three things in the last 4 days that the three us who hunt together have not found in over 35 years detecting... but always thought should turn up. And at the places he got them, just can't be explained.

Re: The nibbles Romeo left for me

I'd be thrilled with the finds you have posted there. The bale seals are beautiful, as are the buttons. As for trying to trump what Romeo found, I can't imagine what you'd have to find to beat the belt plate. Maybe if you pulled up a kings regiment with all the gilt, like the one you found years back.....that would be a great way to end the marathon. Good luck to you, i'll be waiting to see your next post!.

I think you're plenty skilled and experienced, just really really lucky! Mike who used to do the hunts with me made his own luck because he was very good at finding hot spots and digging lots of targets, you on the other hand the luck just strikes from anywhere. Keep that up for good and you're going to see a lot of frustrated faces. (like me!)
