Great finds Bones,
St. Augustine has got to be the best place to hunt, I would imagine difficult at times...but I would think any construction of any kind in that city...I would be reaching in my back seat for my detector at any chance I could. Great finds...Great City...Great History to be had, well done.

Thank you all, Trez St Aug is an excellent place to detect unfortunately it's not allowed in the historical zone, however any private spot just outside their zone usually holds the same history. Steve in PA I just started putting a small button album together I've added a few now. More to come
