Everytime I go to post I think....um...I found this last night.....[that's right a little night hunting...work til 7 then hit the spot]........so why does the thing say today's finds...come on now none of you are really finding it the same day.......well maybe Jeff and JD and Lone Wolfe..............they are all ex-convicts anyway right....lol..lol
I should probably show all the junk that goes with the good stuff but a picture is a like a piece of art........I know my fingers are ugly but that makes the button prettier right....Taking a picture of the inside of my detecting bag would send you running for cover: every imaginable metal scrap known to man- plus clad coins, pull tabs, chunks of iron, foil,you name it plus about a pound of dirt thats probably doing wonders to the circuit box.
Anyway...detecting buddy Mark and I went back up to a road in Nazareth that had been shaved down to the old dirt. This time we went up the road.Imagine this a tree lying flat parallel to the road with old wood coating the dirt. They must have chopped it down and paved right over it.
Anyway...Mark got a couple coins that are sitting in olive oil and he got some buttons.
I got the nice button to the left. There is something about certain parts of relics that are so nice.....and for me it was the shank and button on this two piece colonial. Pardon the fingers. My guess is this is a coat button.
I can picture some shivering hard working person returning from a town meeting and this button is down to a thread. A little stumble stumble and off flies the button to be found 200 years later.
