Yesterdays Hunt - Relics from Late 18th - early 19th Century Site

[mangum]

I haven't posted anything in a while, I've been searching just not finding. I'm in a bit of a dry spell but it takes persistence to research and find new sites. I got out yesterday to a late 18th century site I discovered randomly a couple months ago & found some nice early relics to add to my collection. I was really hoping for a nice coin from this site but finds are starting to be slim (they lost a lot of buttons, why not one coin!) Yesterday was the first nice day in a while, I'm sick of the heat! Looking forward to some upcoming Fall hunts & hopefully finding some new, productive sites!

A quick dip in lemon juice! I prefer ammonia but didn't have any on hand. (For gilt buttons)

Love all those finds MAG, The buttons are SWEET, & Ill take old brass anytime. Wheat's work as well.

P.S. I feel the Same way about the Heat & Bugs.

Excellent finds, the buttons are really nice. What's the date of the wheat cent top left? It looks like it could be 1922. If it's a 1922 with no D mintmark it's a key date.

Beauty button my friend. Looks like you're in a nice spot. Is it as dry there as it is here? It's been incredibly dry here. I'm a supervisor for a general contracting company and we only had 3 rain days this summer that caused us to lose work time. That's pretty insane.

It's been very dry. This spot was in the town I grew up & they got a fair amount of rain the week before otherwise I wouldn't have dug here (a yard of a modern house). The ground had been so dry in SC some of it is impossible to dig

Thanks for pointing it out, I don't see a D! I will finish cleaning when I get home & post the results. I guess I need to start paying more attention to the wheats!

Dude, if that turns out to really be a 1922 no D, I will vote banner. Even in a bad grade like G4 it's worth over $500.

I really hope you have a winner!

I like the design on the back of the first flat button. Never saw one exactly like it before.

It's a 28, deceiving photo! At least now I'll know to look!!!

 

[Gridwalker306]

Man, after I posted I googled both the 22 and 28 wheat cents to check. I was sure hoping it was 22. Oh well, next time!

Re: the saddle strap guide. I found one like it, and was wondering what it was.

There's a gold coin there somewhere well done
