I finally got a chance to get out and do a little detecting. It was about 60° here today and I decided to swing the new NEL Storm coil my dad got for me. I think it will take some getting used to as it seemed a little sensitive when clipping the soy bean stubble...
I first got a small copper grommet and then another similar signal... This time it was this really neat small button. . It is almost like tombac material, but it appears to be a one piece cast button. It you look at the backing, you can see the hand filing of the extra material. Can anyone tell me how old this button could be? I have not found anything quite like it before.
I also found a bunch of old lead too! These sure are white!! These relics were all found at the house where I found my 1796 capped liberty cent.
Oh, the mercury dime is just there for size comparison...
Thanks for checking out some of my first find of 2016!
