Timekiller's on a Roll (And I'm Not Cobbin' Around) O' But I Am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's right Tneters,Number 2 for me today and only took two hours to do it. I debated with myself on to go or not today as it was raining,blowing,and plain out nasty again.But what else is new for here this fall seems like everyday.No end in sight just a break or two here and there.But once again I through caution to the wind got myself worked up and headed to the river.Were the waves were pounding hard.This site is a old stand by I keep up my sleeve just for these times and before it started to rain to hard I was able to find this baby! I'm not sure what it is yet have not had time to look but will in just a few to see if I can figure it out.
                                  Pumped again Guy's.

You git, a nice Spanish Cob, still on my hit list.  I may never get one, but if I do I want it to be as old as this one

Really nice Pete! Boy, I'll bet some of those oddballs have been tossed in the scrap once or twice thinking they're something else. Hey, my today's finds look like the rest of that stuff in that tray! I must be getting hot!

Hey buddy,yea I tried to call you down the river when I found it.Needed someone to share my excitement with but hey it carried over to here.
                                                  Look you all take care up there!  

sweeet!

I tell ya, I don't see enough cobs, like yours!  awesome job!

 Those are some SWEET lookin' hunks of silver you have there !!  I can only hope to pull a cob from the ground someday.   

  Very nice                            VPR

My first Spanish silver was a 1719 4 reales coin...I almost  discarded it  thinking it was a milk bottle lid because it was  thinner than  a regular coin. Anymore , I keep  everything and  clean it before discarding it...just  in  case. I recently found a  silver buckle and almost discarded it as a  piece   of  aluminum pot or something. Always check your finds...WTG on the  cob ...I hope  I  can  find one  next  time  I'm  down your way.

Sweeeet!!!
HH!!

Pete my Colonial bud, that cob is killer...killer I say!!!   Keep on sweeping away on that Colonial site.  You are bound to strike a handful more!!

I only found a 1700s jews harp and a dropped musketball.  Kirk and Chris found absolutely nothing.  The site we hunted was a last resort permission, so we weren't too confident with it.  Also, we got the "NO" reply for 2 sites that would have produced some nice early coppers.  It was an overall terrible hunt.  The finds were slim to none and the landowners were just not interested in letting us hunt their land today.  

Now that is a good way to kill time!! You are on a roll!!!

Man that 's not good, sorry buddy.   But tell you the truth I wasn't thinking I'd find nothing either as it was not suppose to rain all day.So I sat here tell about 10:30am fighting with myself on to go or not.I finaly told my self do it drove all the way to this place got out in the screaming wind and misty rain and messed around for about 1hr and 45min as the rain was geting harder I was about to quit when I found this baby.I still quit had enough of it and was getting cold.After I found this one I figured That was good enough for me today. Your'll have better luck next time don't seem like it could get much worse for you.Hang in there Buddy!

Pete, I was just thinking about anything Colonial, and Iron Patch's name popped up in my head.   I haven't heard from him as well.  I hope he didn't get lost on the Colonial frontier.

He must have a pile of goods to clean.     Maybe if we don't hear from him tomorrow we should send a search party.  

  Oh man...  I was near ready to quit for the year but after seeing that I can't!

   I wasn't lost, and the Colonial goods were not found. I dug many old targets but every last thing that came out of the hole was just old junk. New plan for next time!

  Oh man...  I was near ready to quit for the year but after seeing that I can't!

There he is,morning to ya patch!   Yea I don't imagine my streak will last forever.  I need to start checking on some other sites soon. Just have to get some breaks in our weather here.    As you can see I have that place there cleaned up purdy good. It just happened to be by a stump that was washing out of the bank.Probably miss by not being able to put the coil up in it till now.

   Our sites never last more than two hunts and it takes a good one to go that long. There's always a few left around but it's better we move on than to waste our time and get back for the third dig after the plugh.  So with that said it will be a new spot next time.

   

 

Heh Pete....

them Canadian boys are going to have to some real digging, before the SNOW comes..... to catch up to the Colonial God of the US

   We have been digging, just not the right target!  The site we just did from the age and target count perspective was one of the best all year, so very bad luck it wasn't better.  Ironhorse is taking off for a bit at the end of the month so I figure that will pretty much be the end of the digs... so maybe a couple more chances to put something on the board.  Our weather has been great but I see the cold rollin in very soon.

Well when it comes make sure you have plenty of finds to clean if not give us a bell, and I will send you a couple of hundred Buttons and Buckles, that will keep you busy till the spring

Thanks everyone for your Replies!  Yea been visting family most of the day and my mom who's been in the Hospital going on a week now.
Here are a few more finds though not enough to make a new post on. The handle is neat I thought. Say's "MAKE YOU BLEED" I Guess a old knife not sure. But sure it is old with that type writing on it. Buckle part,dice,and some piece of lead I guess with some type of shiny piece of metal in it.
 Main thing is Thanks for replies Guy's   

Very cool , WTG

Here are a few more finds though not enough to make a new post on. The handle is neat I thought. Say's "MAKE YOU BLEED" I Guess a old knife not sure.

The eighteenth-century version of the universal cure was bloodletting. The genuine physician and the quack alike resorted to it in cases from brain fever to broken legs, colic to cancer.

 Instruments used for bloodletting were often crude and unsanitary.

that die is a very cool relic.

Thanks Patch,and Romeo, Yea the way they done med. back then is a trip to read about.Them people were tough boy.But I guess if that is all you know then it's all you can do.Nice reading there Patch I've read some other type stories down the same line.I thought maybe that way on the handle as it looks like a little knife handle,but was not sure on it.Anyway Thanks for the help.And Good luck on your next hunt guy's.  

With some help from Mackaydon, and another good source who is not a member on here and not sure how he would feel about his name posted.And a nice set of scales I picked up today cause I needed another anyway.I have figured these two out.1701 to 1715 and could be little later on one for sure.But not past 1731 as they started making milled coins then. But both are 1 real and a little under there weight but closest to 1 real.
The first on this post weighs the most at 3.3g
The one from awhile back weighs back and fourth between 2.6 and 2.7 g
Also think they are both Mexico mints.

  Just little light pieces of metal but sure make your day huh. I'd probably fall over to see an 8 reale cob in the dirt.     I've owned quite a few but unless I dig it, it's just cash value to me.

Always in my mind Buddy, Tell you a little secret.Some times out cause I am always by myself I get these erie feelings at some of these places.Sounds crazy I know but boy your mind sometimes can play some tricks on you know? But I have had them in a couple of places like this one right here for one make the hair stand up on your neck no lie.All out in the middle of nowhere too. Kinda freaky but it's the truth.I've even took my head phones off a couple of times from just crazy feelings. Then I realize I'm not getting nothing done standing around looking.

No man, I don't think it's crazy. I think sometimes we tune in to a place and feel it. Really feel it. It's happened to me too many times for me to think otherwise. The detector is the last link maybe, but there's more to it than the detector, that's for sure. You start placing your mind into the time period and the space around you and bingo, it all starts happening.

Yep been there.I'm 6'4" 212lbs and have done and seen many things in my life.And I have no shame in saying sometimes it can get a little freaky at some of these sites.These ones I go to no one around for miles buddy.Out on the boat to get to these places sometimes foggy to make it even stranger at that.But there is something to it now.As far as I know I might act crazy and all if you were to talk with some people but I don't think none would say I really am. Yea there is some feelings that go on that I can't explain for sure.But I wasn't making a funny in my last post to say.It was based on things that I have felt.

Well, I'm late to the party on this one Pete, but boy you sure keep bringing up the good stuff!

I kept looking, knew something looked familiar...then it hit me.

That's the very same design paper plate (Dixie brand, you know)  that the wife served my supper on last night.
And would you believe mine had a cob on it too? Well, after I gnawed the corn off, that was what I had left.

I'm getting out there soon, weather or not. In the meantime, keep posting the droolers.

I'd say you go around 195-200, Patch.  I think your avatar proves that.   What do you think, Pete?

In my lifting years, my arms were bigger than yours, IP, and I only weighed around 190.   I have pics to prove it as well.
