It started with an uprooted tree in the yard, which left a big hole, which opened a window into the past.
Colonial-era clay pipes and pottery pieces. Hand-forged nails and odd yellow-ish bricks. Tiny coins – one of the oldest types of farthing. And jetons – brass tokens once used for accounting that have rarely been found in this country.
Personal note: The property you’re about to visit belongs to the family of my longtime beau.
Beau? Who uses that word anymore? Indulge me. I’ve been immersed in the olden days.

Yes, but did anyone hear the tree fall?
Lots of pipes, hemp and tobacco the two main exportable crops.... hmmmm.
I am sorry the tree fell as a nature lover, but the history lover is really excited. So many things left to discover in the most unexpected places! Enjoy!
