Half Cent Trifecta, George's and 38 Buttons

Got back out again to the field we hit up 2 days ago with Mom and Arty and concentrated on a small area we hadn't before. Not even 10 minutes in and I had about 5 buttons and my first liberty cap half cent! Well I called Arty and Mom over because I couldn't hog all the fun for myself! I got a nice signal of 82-84 on the T2 and there was the 1800 HC sitting on top of the ground ! Quit by 5pm and had a total of 38 flat buttons, 2 George III's? and 3 Half Cents all 3 different varieties and 1 being a 1793! This field is just amazing. Its adjacent to the "Field of Dreams" from the W&E Mag Article and It's becomming my favorite. 1793 HC 1797 HC and 1800 HC a 1775? KGIII and a dateless KG of some sort. Mom and Arty ended up with a bunch of buttons and knick knacks. This is by far one of my best outtings. Heres some pics!

Wow.......I know you are a happy camper long about now.....I wouldn't know "come here" from" sick-em" after a day like that.

Now that looks like a day of non-stop digging euphoria! I would bet that is the first ever half cent trifecta.

I'm inclined to go BANNER here ! You have early + rarity + multiples - an unusual hunt indeed ! Argentium
I just looked at the mintage for the 1793 - 35,000 that is a tough find !!!

Congrats .

Jim, congrats again man! You are working your way into "metal detecting legend" status. Your Chain Cent is coming next...

 

[granthansen]

You South Jersey Boys keep rackin' it up. Congrats on a great find. The field dirt looks beachy! I've encountered soil like that in southwest Jersey. Love digging in it :-)

 

[SouthJerseyJim]

Thanks guys. Ben actually had a trifecta on friday also which makes it crazy that I found all three on sunday too. I put my jersey copper in my back pocket jokingly for good luck....looks like its going in my pocket everytime now =)

 

[Southern_Digger]

Wow! Keep that up and you will eventually trip over those GW buttons. Congratulations...

Amazing pieces of early American History! Glad you can rescue them before they are gone for good!

 

[Goldirocks]

You sure know how to sniff out the good stuff Jim. Looks like the "Golden Horseshoe" has been passed down to the next generation. I like keeping it in the family Fantastic finds and can't wait to get back out there again. Like Ben said, hopefully there will be a chain cent out there somewhere. Maybe that is the quality and not the quantity we spoke of on our drive home. The secret weapon may find that Here's hoping

Awsome! A lot of hours put in but a good pay off for it
