Two Largies 1817 & 1828 and an Alabama Governors Token

[Fast Ed]

Hello again from Galway N.Y. - Been hunting an historic old farm from the late 1700's which at one time was an 800 acre farm but over the years was chopped up into 3 to 5 acre parcels. Little by little I am getting permission to hunt various parcels and to date have skimmed over about 14 acres. Today I was hunting what was used as a path to the farmers field which I assume workers were transported via buckboard. Found the two largies about four feet from each other approx. 6" deep and the token about ten feet from the largies and 4" deep. Sorry but my photo skills need much improvement but I thought I'd share....I'm really excited for spring to come as my greatest desire is to possibly find some artifact that would aid in documenting an old rumor that Lafayette once visited this farm after the Rev war. There is a spring here that was named after Lafayette and I just got permission to hunt there but not until spring.....Oh, if anyone has any history on the token I would be glad to hear about it....Thanks!

If you have one, join the local historical society. I did and became friends with many members who own colonial properties. They all have given me permission to hunt. I have given talks regarding my finds and did an article for the society with pictures and historical relevance of the finds. At the end of the article I offered my services to anyone who has lost a keepsake or other valuables to assist in finding such. Its all about networking, making friends and most of all leaving the property as you found it..... HH
