Hello All,
Had a heck of a hunt with Shanegalang today. He dug a couple great things first off, including a beaten up Seated Dime and a sword belt plate! The plate is Masonic, bearing the inscription "IN HOC SIGNO VINCES." I dug a cuff button with the same motto at the site, likely from the same uniform. I have decided to give the button to Shane to display with the belt plate. I thought I was going to get skunked, but I got a Goodyear Pat. 1851 button (eyeball find), which I have always wanted one of in my collection. Then I dug a worn smooth Shield Nickel. Shane countered with another Shield Nickel. I dug a nice silver thimble that was complete and not too badly bent by the plow. Then I got a Beefalo Nickel. But at the end of the hunt (probably the last 30 minutes at the site), I got a coin silver ring that looks to be homemade. I am wondering if this is a Claddagh Ring or similar. Almost looks like it has two overlapping hearts on it. Would love to know what everyone thinks about the ring. This is one of my all time favorite finds. At any rate, here is the video and the photos.
Cheers,
Buck
