From the land of the Bluenose.....didn't feel like a 50 coin day so I went after a few oldies. Called me buddy Pat and her and I headed down the road to visit Cheryl and her sister Sondra at their farm.<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6cf26b3127cce8eadf3023a2e00000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center> This is a painting of their farm that hangs in the living room that we got to enjoy with the usual tea and scones and a large dose of conversation that I stayed out of being out numbered three to one. Somehow, knitting, painting and singing in a choir are not topics this bouy is well versed in and rather then add comments and seem dumb I stayed quiet and let them wonder if I was.

Have dug this field several times and I'm sure you will see it in an upcoming issue of Eastern and Western Treasure. Must say that the view alone was worth the drive although the field was just plowed and swinging a coil between the furrows was a precarious venture not too mention the "sweet" smell of the fertilizer.<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6cf26b3127cce8eadf30dbb1100000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>

Finds were scarce but I was enjoying the quiet, quality time with my Garrett and Furbee who kept the ears warm. Hit a few coins with most toasty like this 1806 penny token.<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6cf26b3127cce8eadf30c3a2000000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>

Pat and the girls had flown the "hen house" to go visiting another lady down the road so I had about at least another..............two hours of swinging which netted me a pair of bells, musketball, the toastie 1806, a 1799 HR token, button and a too toastie to tell coins.<center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b6cf26b3127cce8eadf30e3a2200000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>

On the way back I drove like a crazed nut to the nearest Tim's for a fix and then settled down to enjoy the old highway back home as Pat sawed a few logs!
 
I could not imagine finding something in 1700's. A really great find. I love your posts with the picture. What is the oldest thing you have found? This is the oldest thing I have ever found.
 
I think I have you all beat for sure. While digging for a coin one day I found a rock. Date that tecters....:please:
 
Pretty Cool, Les. "Toasty" coins, eh?
 
... might help. For the "toasties," that is.
 
From the land of the Bluenose...here is the oldest I have found><center><img src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5dc37b3127cce901a95edf14300000016108AcM2bhk4ZN2"></center>
 
From the land of the Bluenose..found three in one hole around a path of a Dartmouth lake. Carthiginian circa 203BC minted in Ithica. had them "Cpiced" to see if stolen or what not...not! Would make for an interesting article.
