Dirtfishing in Connecticut - April 15, 2011 - Seated Half Dime and more!

[CTDirtFisher]

Hello all!

I headed to a foundation that dates to the late 1700s... I was here 2 weeks and recovered an baby head KG II... Today was nice... mid 50s, sunny with a slight breeze...

1st keeper recovered was a musket ball... not to deep... it was 12/28 till I dug the plug then it read 12/31...

I worked the field a little then decided to work along the old road... and I'm glad I did... This was a choppy signal, but enough to peak my interest...

1853 w/Arrows Seated Liberty Half Dime (Holed)... These suckers are small and thin... No wonder why they are so elusive...

Next recovery was right next to a tree and under a root... I am used to finding the reeds... not the rest :-) A clover harmonica...

This 1903 Indian is amazing! It was in lose dirt just 3 inches down... My 11th Indian Head for the year...
