Well, as many of you probably know by now I have been pounding the 1835 homested which I commonly refer to as the J.A. McDonald home since last year. It has giving me a lot of satisfaction with the pre-1900 finds that I have found....... the oldest being the 1852 LC that I found last July. It has also given me 13 IH's, all in the 1800 range with on key date IH. The oldest has been the 1865 I found last July.
Tonight after diner I decided to go back over and did every signal , good or bad. Keep in mind now that I have 100's , that right, 100's of hours pounding this place. It is a good 3 acres. I have also had other people hunt with me.
Well tonight I was rewarded with just a little treat. An old flat button with no markings. I have found 7 buttons in all. 2 Civil war ( 1 New York cuff) and a large General service coat button, a large flat, a few small ones 4 of the 7 had makers marks. So I guess I just found one of those billions made flat ones tonight. I'll take it. By the way. It was 6 inches down
Thanks for looking Ron
