I had a great time at a group hunt this weekend! I managed to save a little history, see some old friends & make some new ones. My favorite find was a War of 1812 era Navy cuff button that was repurposed to sell to civilians. I thought it was a regular flat button until I cleaned the back off! Its still a debate on these, some think they were left over stock, some think a contract fell through and some think they are buttons that were struck wrong. Nonetheless a great conversation piece. I also found a nice Indian head penny, a mid 19th century mechanical pencil & other relics. This was my first time using the T2 & Im impressed, can't wait to see what this year has in store!
