Last Couple Of Hunts = Mixed Bag Of Finds

Hey all. Been on a break from this place for a couple of months and hitting some new sites this spring with my Diggin partner. Was out earlier today searching for some cabin sites on injun land but not a lot of luck in finding them. The land is 2 one mile square sections in a township where injuns lived from the 1830s to about 1860/61 so it may take us a while to find where the center of their community was. The 1st pic is an area we were searching today and if you look you can see a marshy Area that we came upon and straight out in front in the center at the edge of the marsh I ran into a Michigan rattlesnake that I prodded with my shovel until he decided to slither away! 1st one this yr and only 1 of very few I’ve ever encountered.

The second pic is last weekends digs on two separate sites almost adjoining each other,,, one is a little older than the other so I ended up with a mix of finds. Everything is from 1860s thru the 1910s. Nothing to write home about but fun to find/dig none the less on these nice spring days we’ve been having

Worth mention:
1863 fatty
1864 injun
1918 Buffalo
1888 injun
Some teens wheats
Spencer Hull
A sterling silver Pin with initials RMS
Some buttons
Thimble
Etc etc.

Thanks for looking

Very nice, I like the RMS pin. WTG!

Good stuff! I love dug coins that have patina like that higher grade 1864 Indian.

RMS?? I wonder if it is related to RMS Titanic?

I like that star Buckle!!

I think that R.M.S. is religious pin..Like Methodist..they use that scroll border motif on those Sunday school pins etc.

I'd say it was a good day! Swinging in the thick. Good deal, MRH.

Nice spot you have there and nice haul of finds! Like the IHPs and the silver pin

Congrats on the finds and for seeking out that location..

A good selection there.
Although I can't see the underside of it, I think the 'flower' object is part of a tobacco jar lid:

Coin world suggests the use of mineral oil to bring back the natural color of those RED cents.

Nice mixed bag of finds!

Thanks guys. (Tu)

Pimento,,, I think you’re right. I’ve dug a few of those over the yrs and mainly on sites with pipe stems laying around.

I like the big rim fire hull ----if that is what it is.

Nice digs, MRH! I just dug an 1863 fattie this past weekend also (was back home in PA on vacation), and it was red/pink, just like yours!
