Shuttin' it down for 2017

Hello Everyone

Deer hunting in NH for another couple weeks will keep me out of the woods. The weather seems to be taking a turn and even the sand at the local lake is starting to freeze up.
Wanted to share my last couple ''good'' finds.

Civil War Army Navy token was found at a local lake that is drawn down every winter. Water level is down about 20ft from the high water mark. Also found a wheatie and 4 injuns, all pretty toasted. I've found some pretty old coins here - including a trime last year :yes:

The rock was found at a different lake in the area. I haven't had a chance to verify if it's real yet. Found at about 6'' deep in the sand, the setting seems to be silver (?) with a mark of some kind. I can't see it. It's a single earring -- fingers crossed.

So I hope everyone has an awesome holiday season. I will be reading all your posts thru the snow months. GL&HH

Nice finds man, the token is an odd one.
I used to live in that area many moons ago, between brat and keene, are you close to there?

The choices we have to make...... you have one to many hobbies.... drop the hunting and grab a pick. That ground aint that hard. :laughing:

Not quite that far south. I'm closer to Lebanon NH
Token is from 1863 I think.

I'm not a deer hunter :lol:

- It's the others hunting deer that makes me a little jiggy to be in the woods MD'ing :shock:

I usually hit the local beaches during deer season. Both of these finds were from local lakes.
Thanks for looking dew

Looks like you had a good time out in the water!

Nice scores!
55 here tomorrow and I will be hunting hard

It all depends how far north in NH you are Robren.

I've known a guy or two who have hunted NH all winter long...by driving to southern Mass or RI. You can always stay in NH and hit Hampton Beach!

Just get out there and MD, but make sure you wear the right outfit (so you will fit in)

Great finds, love that token and hope the stone is real

I've found several of those style stud earrings and you should always test them to be sure. Most of the ones I find have a .925 settings with a CZ. The last one had marking on the post that I believe said 1KCZ.925 (which was about a 1 kt CZ stone in a silver setting. So far, the gold ones have had a real stone, but not all had a stamp for the stone size. Anyhow, here are a few examples.

Go get it tested and keep us posted!
