The ground is frozen solid where I am so the detecting season ended 1 month earlier than usual. Only could manage a few very short 1- 2 hours hunts in the warmer periods of the day. Got a few nice finds.

A few hundred feet from the spot I have found my previous Revolutionary War 29th button got an other one. And what a beauty it is. My best preserved coat size Rev War.

Also managed an artillery button. Being copper it's in a so so shape.

My first pewter pillars button ( the coin is for comparison).

A few coppers. All beat. One got me excited as I thought at first that I found my first French copper. Nope just the usual halfpenny token...

A few nice hunts. Sad for the weather and lost opportunity but what can you do.
Thanks for the comments.

Nice hunt. Really like the Spanish real facsimile button. I found one a few weeks ago but mine was pretty rough too

Thanks. I was surprised I have never found it before. A very cool find indeed.

Now that a real nice hunt, awesome button to go into the keeper display.
Frozen ground? Sunday there was a horn crust of frozen turf under the tree line but the pastures were still available. Just waiting for the corn/cows and men that have buck fever to leave the main sites. Geez it puts the pressure on how much quality time we get out there.

That's a fantastic find. Amazing shape as well. Doesn't even look like it was dug. Amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks you. It took some work to get it into the shape it is but the pewter was intact with almost no rusting.

That's some incredible dirt Aureus, the 29th is just superb... set up some space heaters and sift that site :laughing7:

Thanks. I'll try again if the weather gets a bit warmer.

Wow. Just starting to get colder down here. I think we're in for a bad winter, and I can't really say why.
I have the same feeling. The whole year had the unusual weather. Late spring, extremely hot early autumn with an early frost.
