Out in a farm field that I've hit in the past without a whole lot of luck. I was following the course of the "Old Kings Highway" and not getting much to speak of but I know it's there somewhere! I literally can see 3 stone houses and a stone church from this field! I was about to give up for the day when about 15 feet from my truck I get a decent Clad signal (theres very little clad in this field) which is where the buttons and buckles come up. To my delight this is what showed itself! Can anybody br more specific with a date? backmark is triple standard. Thanks and HH !

This was found in the Hudson valley. To correct my quote the bm is treble not triple. Thanks for the replies, when in doubt I know to turn to T-Net. Yea I'm pretty pleased with this button, to me it's worth more than its weight in gold! I can picture them walking along the road, coming or going, it gets caught on a musket strap and waited all these yrs for ME to come along and hold it!!
