A friend introduced me to a fellow at a BBQ party Yesterday.. and was given permission to hunt his 30+ acres which at one time was all fields, then later on was an encampment during the civil war to train soldiers , it was really cool as he has copies of photos showing the soldiers & tents on the property and you can see all the landmarks in the background which still stand today.
Anyways, I just did a quick hunt as I was not prepared for hunting in woods I was expecting fields ( 8/ but during that short hunt at 1.5 I found a 1744 or 1754 british halfpenny.
The owner & were both happy, and told him that I'd clean up the coin and give it to him as a thank you for allowing me on the grounds.. (Im hoping there will plenty more to find) I'll be heading back again tomorrow...
