Call in the Coast Guard

[ironhorse]

You know it's been a while since I posted some finds, I just haven't seen too much noteworthy until today!
Happy to get out digging again with Iron Patch recently and walking down some fields. Some weren't the right ones but a couple yesterday were exactly the right ones!

We got permission for a couple of new fields in a great early area. IP found the site by grabbing a decent Rev War pewter right away so you know anything great can show up.

And..something great did show up...pretty nice 1782 2R!
I think it's been well over a decade since I've last got one those; but really any Spanish is awesome.
We moved on the next place and first signal...bang...Coast Guard button! A new one for me!
I really thought that we hit another great site but it had a lot of junk and the few coins I got there were only last century large cents so the buttons age didn't sync with coins so that place needs a little more attention.
We ended up trying a couple of other fields with little or no success but I did pull out a George ll copper right by the edge of the road on our way home so there's another good reason to get back out there!

What's the date of the Coast Guard button?

The Colchester site dates them 1820- 1836
I suppose we can trust them

Yes I would like to catch on fire and get on a hot streak! The fire needs all the fuel I can get and that one sure helps!
Thanks LD

Not always, & as I have no clue, I can't comment.

OK took a closer look. It can't be that date range as it spans 2 Kings with 1 Crown type. If I had to guess based on the Crown I would say William IV period.1830-37

The rectagular green piece with the disk , looks like an old coin shooter arm.
