The items that I was able to find yesterday with mbcuce. My favorite is the naval button. I found another similar one last weeken that the eagle was facing the opposite direction and the button had backmark. This one hads no backmarks and I can’t seem to find an exact example of it. They were found 15 miles apart. Anyway it was a great afternoon.

Nice work awdw, your soil is way kinder a bit inland than here on the coast. I've dug that variety navy, but wouldn't hold a candle to the condition on that one. Definitely looks like you and your buddy landed on a nice early 1800s homesite. Hit it hard and report back :thumbsup:

VMI that one was found just a mile or two from the ocean. Last weeks was found a couple hundred yards from the salt marsh. But both on nice sandy pine hills.

Love that naval button. It must be a very early one with 15 stars, possibly mid 1790s.

NICE Naval type button looks very old and I even see an Indian Head cent with the last digit a "7" looks like an 1887 or 1897 -- but of course IF it is an 1877 -- You just found the KEY coin of the Indian cents -- thanks for your posting & KEEP hunting that site -- even looks like a piece of old "clay" pipe stem next to the pottery shard.

No it is an 1887. What makes the 77 special? I have an 1872 that I found. Seems as though there was some significance to that year as well.
