Got in about 3hrs of hunting time this weekend and came out with some keepers.. :)

Found 2 Large Colonial Buttons, one smaller button that looks to have a cross on a lined field, a small brass buckle, and an 1831 Large Cent. ;D All were found in the field that I dug the 1750 Copper in.

I'll post again after I clean everything...hopefully the Large Cent cleans up good.

Thanks for looking and HH,

Re: 1831 Large...But it's not Copper!!

I think this may be made of pewter ??? but it is a white metal....reads a jumpy VDI of +40's to +50's....anyone ever seen anything like this?

Thanks for looking and HH,
