HEY GUYS AND GALS

Out this moring break of daylight..... -10c when we crawled outta the truck.....BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Half the beach had a thin layer of ice on it ...looked cold and was cold.

After 1 hour I had dug 2 targets...piece of junk and a musket ball. Ed wasn,t fairing any better.

Another hour passed and still nothing so we moved down the beach further and ED picked up a big copper...still squat for me except 4 or 5 musket balls and a new peny.

I turned and went back...Ed kept on going....I managed to finally hit a big copper but poor shape...at least no skunk.

Into the 4th hr and I was ready to call it quits..tide was gettin up quite high and my arm was getting tired....as it does when not finding much....funny how that works.

Yeah .,,yeah...I know here comes another on the way back to the truck story....but it is a true story mister !!!

Thought I would try a litle sandy cove....pulled out 3 musket balls and big chunks of iron...then a nice clean short zip...always a good sign !!

Dig ...dig...out pops a mud encrusted button...I could see the back of it but not the front...most pewters look the same on the back so knew I had a old one...rinsed it off in the water and was grinning from ear to ear...IT WAS A BUTTON JUST FOR ME !!! ANCHOR !!

Made my day ...only takes the one good find to make it all worth while....and I was ready for home !!

British Royal Marines. Being slightly domed I'm guessing you can see part of a backmark... and if so, it's a War of 1812 button.
 

Not the best in terms of rarity but a real nice looker!
 

One to make the day for sure! Keep them coming
 

I dug one kinda close to yours not so long ago. Also from NS a being in the fishing industry I also liked the anchor. :)

I have about 8-10 of these but they are all very broken.
 

You and you're damn stories bro. :-) walking back to the truck and found a great button... Sure ya did. Just kidding bud. :-) I'm just mad and bitter because I can't get out and dig yet. But this weekend I'm goin for it!!!! That's a really nice looking button right there. Incredible the vine of old buttons you've pulled out in a short time. More than most will find in a life time. Congrats buddy

Wow...

So I,m guessing that they are in all British Colony lands ?

Or even farther ?

lolol...

Ya .. What a line of BS ....LOL..

Get your azzz out to them new sites you got and post some of the goods !!! ... can,t watch TV forever !! :laughing7:


I,m guesssing I,ll be very disappointed once these buttons are completely cleaned out.... finding other hot spots for old buttons isn,t gonna be easy !! Never found 1 all last year.!!

But I,ll enjoy the ride while it lasts.
 

Your luck is really starting to tick me off, lol:BangHead:. Congrats on yet another great hunt. I want a nice old button this year very badly. I wish you luck on your next outing.:icon_thumright:

ty Old Dude

They are getting harder to find now as it is pretty much picked over...now I am checking all the little nocks and crannies . That is exactly where that one was..in an un-suspecting place.

I had walked by it at least a dozen times as well as others have that I know of for sure.

PM me your post when you do find your old button..cause you will and I don,t wanna miss it.!!!
