Wheaties and

[NC_Hunting]

some other goodies from yesterday's hunt of an old house site. The old house still stands in the middle of a large field recently planted in wheat. I had to hike in about 1/2 a mile but it was a perfect afternoon for a hunt. This site has been hunted hard by myself and other local detectorists but it still gives up a goody once in a while. This time I hunted about 2 hours and found 3 wheats (all in bad shape), what appears to be a play coin made of aluminum? ... its is worn almost slick but can still see a star or two on each side and a M or W depending on which way you hold it, also found a small rectangular object with some type of design on it (almost like a butterfly), and a couple of other relics. I also put some pottery shards from recent hunts in the photo just to show them ... just found them lieing on top in the plowed fields or on the sandy shore of Albemarle Sound. Anyway, thanks for looking.

I get over to the Currituck Sound quite often and now will have to start paying attention. JC

Those are some great finds! Could the "play money" be a token? Just wondering. Thanks for sharing, Beale.

Hello JC ... the Currituck Sound is just across the water from the south shore of the Albemarle ... you'll have to swing by Columbia in Tyrrell County sometime and check me out!

Hello Beale ... I'm not sure what that piece is ... I say play money but it could just as easily be a token ... the metal came out of the ground quite shiny and in fairly good shape like aluminum or even silver but it is very thin and worn ... appreciate any thoughts or ideas on it.

Those are some neat finds. Wheaties are always good. I have no guesses on the aluminum coin though. I have never seen anything like it.
It should be recognizable to someone though, it is distinctive.
Happy hunting:snowman:
