As I was driving home from doing a family friend a favor, I started to pass a field that I had worked. There was one guy at the far end of the field with an Ace 250.
I decided to stop and see how he was doing, and asked if he got permission for the field. He had only dug canslaw, and was about ready to leave and he thought the field was town property.
I explained that the land was owned by a land conservancy and he needed to get their permission, and showed him the letter that I have giving me permission.
As I started to walk away, I got a hit that I thought was more canslaw and kept moving. Before I could take more than a few steps, I went back to dig the hit. The sound was just too good to pass up.
The guy with the Ace 250 came over as I turned the plug. Sticking part way out of the bottom was what I thought was a bracelet. It turned out to be an armband more than likely made by a member of the Esopus Indian's from the Hudson Valley area of NY.
The coins are as follows:
2 half dimes 1850 1857 12 barber dimes (7) 1892 and 5 1893 1 seated liberty 20 cent piece 1875
The links are also made from coin silver.
