I hit my go-to Rev War era cellar hole today and it's still producing, as is the shoreline below it! I got a really nice carved lead anchor from the shoreline as well as some musketballs and flat buttons. I also snagged a nice little silver Iron Cross pin. I'm not sure of its age. It doesnt have a maker's mark nor does it say Sterling or 925. We moved up to the cellar hole above and got a couple flat buttons, a pewter button and another nice Rev War Navy Captain/Commander button. This is the 5th one from this site! I got a choppy one way signal on the Nox and I honestly considering walking past it, but I had time to kill so I dug it. It was completely vertical and a total surprise. An 1843 New Brunswick One Penny Token. It was dropped at least 30 years after the homesite was abandoned. It definitely deserves another good lashing!!!

Very nice button and finds. All in shape. Just found one button with anchor but it's a general one (Blazer) ;-( I found a NB Penny lest in shape than yours but still good. Nice big copper far from home in Quebec city.
