These finds are from a few different places I've detected recently. Still getting used to the Deus - I've been going back to a few places I've hunted before.
First is the nice gold plated button with a very legible backmark, and the 1963 dog tag. Those were found at an 1830s house I've detected 2 or 3 times in the past.
The next few finds were from a yard I recently secured permission to detect, from about 1820. I know for a fact someone else has detected before (and found some good stuff) but wanted to see if he missed anything. Sure enough, I dug an 1857 flying eagle in the front yard (my second one!) in fairly decent condition. I was pretty happy with that. Also came across a flat button and a silver war nickel, and a wooden pocketknife.
Finally, I've been going back to a house site...not sure how old. I've been turning up bricks and some old pottery, so I think the site has some age to it. Nothing too great here, got an older padlock and another flat button..Has a nice script backmark....BEST STRONG and STAND in small letters.
Thanks for looking!
