I headed off to my little corner of history this morning for a few hours. After finding my first Colonial here yesterday, I was saying to myself "there is more". Not disapointed.......

The first hole of the morning was the axe head. Go figure, I had to carry that in my pouch for the next two hours. A little while later the small buckle showed up. The next keeper was the Tombac button. This one is a little different than any other that I have dug. The next target was Draped Bust #4 from the field! Once again just a whisper. Very deep, maybe ten inches. Right out of the ground in the best condition possible! I knew right away that I had a variety also, 1800, 80 over 79. Getting kinda used to finding these, so in my watch pocket it goes and back to swinging.
I searched for another hour and added the large flat button to the days keepers. On the walk through the field home, swinging wildly "as it always happens" I get a signal that is telling me possibly a copper cent, 30/32 on my minelab. pinpointed and out came the final find of the morning..... Massachusettes Civil War button? I think I am right.....

I am going to do a couple of posts. I took my camera with me today ;D
