RPin' it on the Button Backroads

Insane to be out in Feb here, but I'll take it! Ironhorse and I did our first hunt down the old button backroads today and I was successful for the count of two in the military department... and unsuccessful for the count of two in the condition department. :) But I'll never shun a Rev War button! :headbang: We tried a few different areas and the last site was a frosty corn field, and I probably looked like an ape breaking open coconuts banging the clumps of dirt on my shovel... but you gotta do what you gotta do, and me got me some ok coconut juice. :laughing7: (and a couple of large coffee right now) :tongue3: Anyway, pretty good start, but any start in Feb. would be a good one anyway!

The coins are a George III and Charles II Irish Halfpenny. A first for me but sadly just enough to ID and not much more.

Considering what we had this time last year it feels like a miracle just to think about digging let alone getting out there! And you dug some nice stuff at that!

Nothing short of a miracle!
Local news had a summary of the month for temps, precipitation, etc
This year 0cm of snow on the ground, one year ago....120cm!
Last year you would have needed the really big coil to get a hit on any of those finds lol

Really nice finds, I think. Especially like the colonial cufflink! Buttons great too. Coppers are always good to get. Congrats & HH!
