We’ve metal detected more colonial farms and fields over the years then I can ever try to remember. But of all the amazing places we’ve been and early coins we’ve found, no location has ever come close to this one!
Over the past several weeks we’ve been hunting these fields meticulously, slowly working our way through and moving over new sections each trip. We’ve broken every record I could think of and still counting. Over 15 coins from the 1600’s including 5 silver hammered coins so far. Over 40 large copper coins from the 1600’s-mid-1800s. Close to 200 buttons from military and civilian and several made centuries before America was even a country.
But last week as we hit yet another new part of the field w me stumbled across another amazing hotspot, tucked back near the creek where an old trading post mess likely sitting. We found another dozen large copper coins here including some scarce ones like a Virginia Halfpenny from 1773, a William and Mary halfpence from 1694, and dozens of others around the time the new country was founded. But then out of nowhere a total shocker that floored us all, an ancient Roman coin that from our research was made all the way back in the year 270AD! For a field that has given up so much so far, we can only imagine what might still be coming as we continue to push our way through!
