1800's cellar hole gives up some Feb finds !

[CMDiamonddawg]

Hi TNet TH'ers , Groundhog sees shadow and its sixty degrees . The mild weather has been a blessing here lately . mid 50's . Met up with long time friend and old home site relic seeker , Silent Bob , he uses a Whites dfx. He was granted permission and called me up to help search the location of an early 1800's home with a cellar hole . Nice time there and a few buttons and relics were dug . First find was dug by Silent B , it was a nice 2 piece Philadelphia Pa. police button . not sure how that one ended up here . In the mean time all I was diggin' were square nails deep ones with the CZ Took a while to get another button , this time it was my turn ... thought it was a largie but it was old dandy . both found some cool stuff a few shards , weird vin bottle . We'll be looking at that one again somewhere down the road . Day two , I turned Bob on to one of my sites , we worked an area for an hour , nothing then Bob saved the hunt . He scores a 1915 barber quarter , sorry bout the blurry pic , fine detail . Great looking silver caused quite a bit of excitement . Waves me over and says , cool I was able to get a few Indianheads , 1916 mercury .. no D but decent silver , some wheats , and a strange P.O. D. two piece button , button with a Jacob Reed & Son Phil. backmark , any id help would be appreciated . Large cent streak ended but enjoyed a lot of laughs and great time with Bob on these two searches . He doesn't say too much but I could tell he was happy to get the barber Thanks for stopping in , dawg

I think the P.O.D. button is a postal delivery button. Nice finds it looked like alot of fun.

I love the Police button... I can just imagine how it might have gotten there.. Maybe they were chasing some bank-robbers who had just robbed a bank, and hid their loot out in the woods.. it ended in a struggle, where the button had popped off.. Ok.. Ok.. I am NOT a writer, but it makes you wonder.

Dawg,
Quit your belly aching, there's poor detectorists down here in NC starving for old copper and silver.
Some great finds in my book Guys. Love the nice postal and dandy button.
Still trying to find a Barber quarter myself. Congrats to Bob.
