was out with new hunting partnerWhydah on Cape Cod
went to a few beaches looking for gold and I got that too - but thats a different story
this was NOT the same place that I have been getting all the musketballs in the water
I have over the years gotten a few musketballs here also but never expected this
find - USA contenental Rev war button
when I looked in my scoop - i thought I had a blackened nickel
picked it up and rubbed it between my thumb and forefinger (wish i hadnt - I think I broke off part of edge doing that)
I felt nub from shank and said "wow - a flat button"
now i was in about 5 feet of water with my mask on - I flipped it over and saw squigly line and thought it was
rope of a fouled anchor and thought I might have a navy button - pulled mask up to see it better
and was shocked to see USA on the face - bonus find for the day
and cross one off of wish list
