VOL1266x and I went back to the colonial site we have been hunting. KIRKPA saw my other post and said there should be old silver there. He was right! I dug the 1807 Reale from about 8 inches. The 1807 Reale is the first Reale I have ever dug. I also dug 4 flat buttons, 3 were about the size of a penny, the other was a cuff button. I found 4 buckles, I think 3 are shoe buckles, one an equipment buckle. Vol dug an Eagle button with gold gilt on it. He used about half of my bottle of water to clean it up. He thought it may have been a Civil War New York button. He was all excited using my water up. He realized it was an Eagle button and handed it to me to look at. I then realized it was a World War II Eagle button. Vol went from being elated to disgusted in a matter of seconds. I wished he had used his own drink to clean his button with. I also dug a carved .69 caliber bullet. It looks like the soldier cut off the base and carved notches in it. I later found a couple of old knives and a Burnside bullet. The last thing I found was a glass bottle. There was a piece of iron next to it and that is why I got lucky and found the milk bottle at about 6 inches deep. I think there once was a dairy close by. Thanks for looking.
