My brother Rick, (DetectoDude) and I got out for our first day of the Fall Hunt. Went to several places including the Copper Pit. I found a nice 1827 Large cent and a Military button with an eagle and anchor, but can't identify it. Rick found an AU 1923 Mercury Dime along with some nice buttons and other things. It was absolutely beautiful today with the temperature in the 70's and a clear blue sky with all the leaves turning colors. We also found a bunch of Wheaties that are soaking in Hydrogen Peroxide. Tomorrow we have scheduled an early 1800 Farm not to far from here. Will keep you posted...Lance

Very nice finds. It's nice that the two of you share the same hobby and even though you are so far away from each other you can get together occasionally to enjoy it. Where are you originally from since one is VT and the other Calf.? Just a noisy question. :) Have a good week hunting I hear we are suppose to have showers for the next two days so hopefully you can get out between rain drops. ;)

Lance,
I was looking up your button and I didn't find the exact button but I found that a lot of federal civil war navy uniforms had the eagle seated on or holding an anchor as it's logo. Just thought I'd give you that tidbit of info. If I find anything else out i'll post ya!

Great finds!! any other marks on the buttons? Both Ag and Au are grades used for coins, Almost Good and Almost Uncirculated, That kinda looks Au to me, but im not sure if a grading service would grade it that high being dug.

Nice finds Lance. You and your brother could do some damage together over there. What types of detectors do you run. The coppers from your state are in very nice condition. My brother's name is Lance also and we hunt all the time together. Nothing like hunting with your brother.

Keep up the good work.
