Despite my previous assessment that this season hunts were over, I managed to get ouf for a few short hunts. The ground is partially frozen and some days we had some major (for late fall) snow accumulations. Did find a few decent finds, nothing major but I'm still happy with them.
My favorite would be a 24th Regiment of foot British officers or Sergeants large button. I would think from late 1830's to early 1850's The silver plating partially survived which is always a welcome sight.
Also, found 65th Regiment button. Could be officers, I believe it used to be gold guild as I have found an other one in excellent condition at the same spot this spring. Late 1830's early 1840's
My very first Blacksmith's Token. Very strangely it took me over a 100 George III Halfpennies to finally get one.
Got a few 1812 to 1837 Halfpenny tokens. 3 Jew harps, few glass buttons, croatal bell, two 1876 Victoria Cents and Edward VII (1905) 10 cents in a great shape. Also a beautiful small colonial button with a snowflake motif (how convenient ) and a strange piece of silver with hand engraved birds (no idea what it is).
Glad to be able to get out even for 1-2 hours hunts, but winter IS coming! Grrrrrr...
