Saturday November 26 - I took my brother-in-law, who was visiting from out of town, to one of my older permissions that I hadn't been to in over a year. It was nice to see him dig his first colonial silver, a 1773 real. He also dug 3 colonial coppers, musketballs and buttons. I found a bunch of revwar buck n ball, buttons and a small complete buckle. I was glad to see the field is still producing.

Nice finds, Brian. Interesting, I wonder if I have ever found any of the buckshot before at sites where I have found some muskets and just thought of them as modern rifle/shotgun shot. Good to know sites can still produce, even silver, after a year. There is a permission that I have to get back to now and go over with the higher sense to find the deeper stuff I was prob missing. I just end up finding wooded places instead of hitting permissions.

Now those are all some super finds. Always nice to go back to a permission and it still produces

Congrats on some great finds Brian! Shoot us some closeups of your brother-in-law's coppers/silver if you have time. Always love the old ammo, and you found quite the haul!

Thanks! I tend to go back to old permissions kinda on a whim. Sometimes it turns out well other times not so... anyways this field is about 10 acres and I'm sure there is still more to be found there!
