found some new cellar holes and dug some cool coins,tokens & relics.
My girl friend Lynne dug a nice pre cw eagle "D" button.i got a 1850's merchant token.a one piece diplomatic eagle button,a few coppers and buttons.the applied silver on the colonial knee buckle completely came off the face of the buckle while cleaning it.I super glued it back on.Also wrote a story in this month's American Digger magazine about the WWII bombers ID bracelet I returned to the son of the veteran.

Nice a ton of great relic finds! Congrats!

When it comes to choosing between detecting or posting, we'd all go for detecting! As long as you get it posted at some point so we can all enjoy it, it's all good!

Attaboy Dave!! That's quite a impressive accumulation of relics and coins. Love that token, and it reminds me of a similar clothier's token I dug last season. And both are from the same period. And that's a cool diplomatic button too. You rarely see those show up, and yours looks like a scarce variety as well. Super nice swingin'!!

Great group of finds Dave. That's a sweet Dragoon button. Love the merchant token and the matching knee buckles. Some nice colonial buttons in there and what looks like a rosette with the chain link rim. You didn't mention it in your post or show the back, but I assume it's a rosette, and a nice one at that.
