It’s been a while since I’ve gotten out with da crew for a good hunt. All together we scored some real nice stuff: 8 coppers, Spanish silver, seated silver, and some trimes. But I’ll just speak of my hunt since those other guys rarely post on Tnet.

Here’s the crew today ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1542898256.089599.jpg

Although EastCoastDiggler’s spot, the site we went to is aptly named Basstard Meaddows. It’s a place that’s loaded with goodies if you’re willing to do the work. All the easy targets are gone so you need to get into the thorns, mud, and perform landscaping duties to get the good stuff.

Well, I landed some buttons and a cool screw piece as well. I’ll try and clean those up tonight. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1542850069.250851.jpg

Also a cool button, maybe 8 or 9mm, with a liberty cap on it. I do t think it’s 18th century but rather a bit later. Perhaps a copy of the obv. of a Mexican real. Dunno

Overall an excellent day. Had a great time with EastCoastHumper, Bartek and Treblehunter.

Happy Thanksgiving

Oh, and I took a little video, but the money shot had bad light. It was of the seated dime dig...

Just added:

The rest of the non-ferrous. Flat buttons ca. 1810-1830

Furniture hardware, perhaps a drawer pull because of the thread. I’ve seen identical thread on other pulls. Thoughts??

Sweet hunt Scrappy. Awesome coins! Good to see all of you guys hunting together.

Shame Bart had to steal the show with the smallest piece of silver. You need to watch that guy. Hint: Shovel.

Best of luck to you sir.

I really had a blast, you know I did end up seeing some deer after all. I found a UFO copper, Indian and 4 buttons. My fat ass can't take hunting in the deep woods too long. I've got a great woods site for us to tear up next week. Charlie is a great host. I'm glad I got to spend time with him and sorry I missed the photo. Nice finds again buddy, you are one with the detector, Bart really did point me in the right spot, I found all those buttons in one small area, then of course found the copper on the way back to the truck

You’re in the photo... ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1542907910.290746.jpg

Look who's back when I'm about to pack my detector for the long winter! Congrats on the great finds man. Hopefully next spring you won't sacrifice your detecting season and we'll be able to see some awesome finds you usually dig.
Just stay away from any construction tools or large boats for a while :laughing7:

The way I look at it is I have another month before things are frozen solid. Hopefully I’ll get a bit more time to hunt now. Either way, you’re always welcome to NJ

Thanks man. Hopefully you'll pull something great before the end of the season.I'm sure there are some Spanish and Novas hiding in those woods (and Tree Shillings of course :thumbsup:)

I think, as you saw in our Basstard texts that Brad in fact stole the show. I don’t have an exact example but I think that navy button he found is British Rev!
