    Best Soil

    Think this post should be called what's your best soil. I found these 17th century finds on a site where the soil is just about sand. None of these finds have been cleaned !, all look like they did when lost around 400 years ago.

    Re: Best Soil


    No such thing as good soil for my sites. There's bad, and worse, and that's about it. I do have some finds that really beat the odds but it's only a very small % of what I have dug.

    The problem Rob is getting the very rare find in soil like that so it really counts!

    Yep, but when you hit one, you really hit one! I didn't do it in any better soil, but kinda had that happen to me in 2001. Dug a rare one, but also got the condition which can be tough to do in our plowed fields.

    I posted it here http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.p...,310212.0.html

    At the time it was a very rare button and may be the best known considering it's better than the one which was always used in the books and owned by the New York Historical society. I thought it was modern until getting through the first two words and seeing the crown in the middle.... then the adrenaline rush hit.
