Got out with my buddy "Calabash Digger" and had a relic feast at his new early camp sites. The main camp is the smallest site (100'x100') I have ever seen to produce the number of buttons it has. So far, 35 military and at least as many flat buttons. The iron is incredibly thick on this site, so I had to work hard to score these relics (yes I cleaned the dimes with Wright's Silver Cream:tongue3:). Thanks Calabash Digger and Chris for letting me hunt your new site! 1850 front.jpg 1850back.jpg 2 eagles.jpg group.jpg

Good lord. I can't even find a seated anything and you found two in one hunt? And they are that gorgeous? Insanely jealous! That's an amazing site you have. Many congrats on your finds!

I haven't dug a Seated in 3 years but I know how great it feels when you dig one. To dig TWO in one hunt,, man,, I would be on cloud nine.
Congrats on all your finds and a sweet hunt.

Thank you! Yes they came from two sites near each other in the same day. They came out of the ground somewhat tarnished and I put Wright's silver polish on them to suit my taste. First time I have scored two seated in one day in 25 years of relic hunting! HH
