(Photo added) War of 1812 Script RR Button + fishing
Great day out at the War of 1812 fort site. This place just keeps giving with beach erosion and finding small, new areas to check. Best find was this double script "R" Rifles Regt button. The crud on it just came right off like magic and it's in really good shape. Most of the finds here are very good considering the salt water. I found my first old coin here ever - been 3-4 years and finally happened it's just totally toasted. It's still in the car but I will check it again tomorrow, but I have no hope for it. Found one other big button with nothing visible on the front and a tiny buckle about the size of finger nail. Hope this vid isn't too large a file. Did some fishing too, but no luck. Oh and this find was with the Ace 150 for $80 bucks at the pawn shop. It just keeps workin! (no luck attaching the vid - I mentioned in it that I have to get CarolinaTom to that site with better detector. There are some places mine won't work like higher grass and overall there are probably deeper finds. This was both a fort and battle site (private land with permission). This photo better not be sideways I rotated it but last time they still appeared sideways. I just realized it looks like Chia button!! Green top...that will come off anyway.
