life is good, winter is over and detecting has started!
the ole detector hasn't moved far since last December when the frost set in; it felt good getting back out in the fields and putting the shovel in the dirt
me and Iron Patch got back to great spot that has given up some RevWar and 1812 buttons on the past; second last time we were there a crew was busy harvesting rutabagas, and the last time ( when we thought we going detecting) we saw a goose blind right where we wanted to be, so we had to wait til today.
we hunted a few hours at this and another shorter hunt at another site we found but sadly it only produced a few Victorian age targets, not the great follow up to the much better previous field
finds were not many, but I was happy with the results
a few buttons, couple coins, odds and ends.... and nice military button to start the season off right!
Kings American Regiment officers cuff, little bit of gilt left in the right places
also, found these bottle stoppers at the first place today, I've not seen any like them before, I've found dozens of them, but none with the crown and what appears to be rampant lion....East India Co.??
if anyone knows about them let me know please
anyways, that's the lot
looking forward to getting back out again soon
