After three fall hunts this year, momentum is starting to gather and success is coming our way!
Me and IP had to do it up right this day, it was his fifteen year anniversary detecting old finds, so I guess we had to go get them.
Things picked up right where we left it last time out, started hitting buttons and an odd copper, then
when I hit the Rev War officers button, we were diverted off the copper trail to find some early military buttons!
My nicest King's American Regiment coat button to date...nice details but lacking gilt.
Hit a nearby field with very similar results, interesting find here was my Irish button...crowned Irish harp flanked by the English rose and Scottish thistle; very similar to devices used on Hibernia coppers.
We crossed the river to another site that was pure Rev War, I got a pair of Royal Provincials one large and one small, some edge loss, but great for the age! A few more buttons and another copper. Interesting find here was a small lead disc stamped with a GR cipher in a crown ( Georgius Rex?)
Closed out the rest of the afternoon at yet another site which produced more buttons and a copper.
Looking forward again to getting out and hitting the copper trail soon!
