Soybean field finds, old copper coins, military button, and others

[treblehunter]

Last few days have been warm so I managed to come out of hibernation for a few short hunts. Today I found an old musket ball, an old copper coin which was completely toasted out and some old unidentified relics. The field I was at today I did with oldjerseygirl (Becky) she found a very cool Military button and a very similar roached out old copper coin

Here is a couple links to similar buttons
Button backmarks, Scovill Manufacturing Company, Waterbury, Connecticut.

I tried to clean up the coins, but had no success getting anything identifiable from either of them. Shame, allot of history in that neck of the woods.

I also found some other relics the last couple days in some other soybean fields, in the pix I put the musket ball in there too.


I hope the weather holds out (no snow) mild temperatures would be nice, been waiting for the thaw to hit that new spot with Vino (another old church in Philadelphia). When its cold out it's too easy for me to get comfortable in front of the television this time of year! HH everyone and Merry Christmas, whoops I meant Happy holidays!
