Well it's Nov 22nd, still no snow and was very warm considering...We decided to go back to our new site area, as our research pointed out to a prominent Loyalist. I think we found the site with the aid of the land owner. The site was very good to the finds over the years with lack of fertilizer in the ground. The main Colonial site was bulldozed by the landowner many years ago and the other sites much further up on the hill. I managed to get 3 RP buttons from the site with some edge loss and one so worn down I can't see much on it, fantastic shaped Geo II coin dated 1752, 1861 NS large cent, 1843 Vicky, possibly a french coin, neat trunk piece, almost pewter button with pewter shank and normal finds at such a site.
I am also including my detecting buds finds here as he is not a member of the site and he found them right beside me today. I believe they deserve mentioning. He first dug this Rattlesnake button with 13 stars to represent the original 13 states and also this RP button with NO pitting or edge loss, this would be eagle to the USA button in the banner as far as comparison. May not be in order...Thanks for looking!

That would be a dream hunt for me. The RP buttons are killer but a rattlesnake button is very near the top of my list to dig. That particular one is incredible. That button is perfect and I'm actially shocked at the condition. Tell your buddy a huge congrats from a very jealous fella in Maine. Co fears to you as well as those are some amazing finds. Those are the sites that you just hope will give up those scarce or rare finds as you know the condition could be stellar. Great post bud. I would be there everyday until there wasn't a peep to be heard
