Fri after work hit the house that gave up the sweet Ct copper & the funky spanish copper.got 2 buttons & thought i had another copper at 1st glance. a 1942 british half penny
Sat went with Gary to a couple beautiful foundations,pounded to death. a barrell tap and not much else.
Today i went solo to 2 cellar holes.one is a park as you can read.last time here with rcat i dug a 1837 scovills hard times token.not much came out of there today,just 2 flat buttons.
but,adjacent to the sperry hole is another one that i never knew was there.mostly mid to late 1800's stuff.a turning purple strap side whiskey flask,a OXKNOB! a kinda neat sash buckle and some spoons and bowls .no coppers this weekend :-\
