Week Two - Saturday

What a switch in the weather today.  It was COLD!  There were a few sprinkles of rain but the wind was blowing hard and very cold.  We had t-shirts, fleece and our rain parkas with hoods up to protect from the wind.  Brrrrrr.  We had five new guys from New England join us today and we all stayed out until almost 7pm.  In case anyone cares, it's dark at 7pm.  Tonight the U.K. goes on daylight savings time.  Lucky us, we get to change time again!

As far as finds go today, Clarence found greenies and lead weights along with the usual common stuff like bullet casings, buttons, and lead weights.  I lucked out today with two silver coins, one "slick willie" and one hammered silver.  The "slick willie" is a silver coin kept in circulation for about a hundred years they so are worn smooth. They were from the reign of King William, thus the name.

It's late, I'm beat and Clarence has already gone upstairs to bed.  All this fresh air and oxygen can wear you out.  I hope we have some nice goodies to share with you tomorrow.
