War of 1812 Script "A" button, 1818 LC, NY coat button

:hello: Hi T-net, managed a 2 hour hunt today after work at a new site.. I knocked, owner said "sure go ahead" and I couldn't start swinging fast enough.. To my dismay, the detector was going nuts from interference, so I asked the guy if there was an underground power line or something ??? He said, "oh yeah that's the dog's shock collar line" :laughing9: :laughing9: Thankfully, he was kind enough to turn it off, so the digging began.. Somewhere in the meanwhile I cut into the line twice :laughing7: and had to help him splice it back together when I was finished.. I did manage to dig a couple nice things out of the yard though :thumbsup: Thanks for looking and HH Jeff

That 1812 button is a great example of an early Scovill button! Nice digs!

Thanks dawg, I thought the owner was gonna bury me in the back somewhere when I told him, but surprisingly enough he thought it was funny and said no problem at all.. He want's me to come back :laughing7: That "A" is actually my 2nd but definitely a lot better than the first one :hello2:

OK, the button is a great find, and the large cent is something I'd like to find more than the only one I've ever found, but I really like that transit token. Just something about the travel time that's been through (no pun intended).

Nice Relics and LC Jeff!!! The F75 does not like electric fences and changing frequencies does not help. Isn't it funny how Josh manages to get pics of all his finds and the camera battery expires when he gets to your relics-LOL??? HH Guys, Quindy.
