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 finds. You keep that frozen ground over there. The ground is still soft as can be here. We had a couple nights of minus weather but not enough to do anything to the ground but a slight skim of ice on the puddles. The last couple years i could almost hunt year round here anyway. Living right on the ocean has its perks i guess sometimes. Last resort is woods then shoreline if necessary if it gets really frozen and deep snow! [emoji2] [emoji106]

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

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

Wow. Just starting to get colder down here. I think we're in for a bad winter, and I can't really say why.

You sure are lucky. Having such productive grounds and hunting the year long. I wish it was something similar over here. I'm loosing 6 months a year due to the deep freeze.
