On the internet I found a new hole that is within a half mile of where Merc and I found all kinds of keepers. I found the KG 2 counterfeit, the barber half, many wheats, clokers, seated dime, barber dimes, etc. Merc found a 1730 copper (bronze?), mercury dime, etc.
Today there was just enough snow to hamper the effort and not a lot of time to really explore. We found a place were there was a lot of walls but no hole. The walls were so nice that we decided to hunt. I found the attached tombac and what I think is a 1600s cow bell. I thought it was my first crotal bell piece. Can anyone confirm it to be a really old cow bell? I can't find a foundry.
We finally found the hole when we both wanted to leave. We'll be back sunday when the rain melts some of the snow. Sorry for the file size.
