8-13 got a few keepers :-)
hooked up with Brent and tried a couple of lots in the city that were pretty trashy, and we tried one spot out in the country. Dug a no date LC, 1886 IH, 1900 V nickel and a few relics, including a nice old buckle and an old button (MSP?) anyway, thanks for looking, Griff
UPDATE: I think the button is a Michigan staff coat button from the civil war era.

Nice bunch of finds! Thats an odd wear pattern on the Biggie. I wonder if it may have been a weak strike to begin with. That would have made my day! Congrats.

Great digs! Is that a sharp shooters badge?

Nice digs, J. Excellent V nickel and I'd take that smoothie LC any day. Glad you're getting out.

p.s. Nice button, too!

dang Mike good eye!.... I wasn't sure what that was, but after looking at some other pics it very well may be.
