Tiny silvers! Today's hunt and a recap of the past few...

Hi everyone.


I hope you are all doing well.


I was in Jamaica, getting married during the end of April. My season started a bit late. If I ever go back down there, I'd be bringing a detector with me to Falmouth! That's a nice little colonial town. :)


The winter blues were rough this year, but detecting has raised my spirits!


I've been hitting an area behind a school that used to have a lime kiln, and I have been doing quite well. Many others hunt it, I'm sure, but the XP Déus keeps sniffing out some tiny silvers!


Today's hunt is from a park. I found a little fishie and a military button I haven't seen before. It's a corrorded two piece, with crown and stars? Maybe one of you guys can help narrow it down. I've never seen one with stars before...


TODAY'S HUNT:


1905 Fishie, 1916 LC, strange Military button

The Deus is really sucking up the silvers for you.
I'm quite sure (not 100%) your button is a Nova Scotia Militia, or at least that is what it looks like to me.

I'll see If I can get a pic. to add........

Yes 99.9% sure now, the "stars" are may flowers, and makes much sense, as most of these had iron backs, thus corroded. Strange I have one that is not. (the pic. is NOT one I dug)

Those other guys just skipped over all those tiny silvers! Well done. Rick beat me to the punch with the NS Militia button. Great hunts!

Very nice selection of silvers, been a while since I've dug a fishie out of the dirt.
