Digging in the cold winds and snow flurries :)

[Diggincoinz]

Saturday and Sunday have been windy here along Lake Ontario in NY this weekend with lake effect snow squalls and quite the chill in the air so yesterday I stayed in but today with some late morning sunshine I figured I'd give it a shot and dressed for the weather...

A couple of hunters came up to the barns, thought I was trapping and inquired of my doings. No problem there as they were heading into the woods and over the hill see in this picture taken when I first got there today. The house was behind the barns and there's tons of trash and corn stalk stubble.

I got these two things, anyone know what they are? I'll probably post it in "whats it?" later...


Finally before heading home, I got my old coin for the day! A nice 1890 IH Cent, came out pretty good along with a Waterbury gilted button and a old cheap copper ring.


Thanks for looking!

Looks a little chilly but the finds made it worth it...

Nice mix of finds....there's no scale on what I think is probably a hat badge....probably Canadian or British based on the medieval French script and crown.

Thanks guys, I've did a little google search on the badge and came up with this so far:

"Honi soit qui mal y pense" is a French phrase meaning: "Shamed be he who thinks evil of it".

p.s. There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing. And snow just helps you grid better.
