Whitetails, Honeybee's, and King George II
Went out yesterday morning for a few hours with my cousin Matt and Deepsecrets. Had a lot of fun, saw some deer walking through the field in to the thicket, snaked my way through the thorns and got to a side of the property that i have not been before. I saw a tall old tree so i headed over that way, walked around on the east side of the tree and got a jumpy but good signal 4"-6" down, dug it and out popped a copper coin. I took a picture before i cleaned it off, then saw the outline of KGII, my second one this year and 4th copper for the year. Its to worn to read a date but still 1700's. After i get it clean i took my headphones off and hear all this buzzing so i look up and there are hundreds of honeybees on the side of this tree, i have never seen a nest of honeybees before so i thought that was pretty cool. An hour or so goes by with nothing else but a little lead thing with "N & W" on the front and "BERA
E" on the back i cant make out what it says. Any ideas would be great. I also found a condom lid that has price $1.00 on it, i found it by a old church that was a civil war hospital so at first i thought it was a medicine lid by the cross design, but i was told by Deepsecrets that it was just a condom lid. A big congrats to him for finding the first Bust off the property and the 4th large cent. Thanks for looking and HH.

I was fortunate to make a couple of great finds - as soon as I find my camera I will post photos. Although the half-dime and LC were cool, I was more excited to find a pretty gilt button (in the same hole as the half dime) as it had a clear identification on the back. I have sent an email to our local button expert in hopes he can date it. The mark was I&T Fassitt Rich Gilt if anyone here can shed some light I would be appreciative. Thanks again to Ryan and Matt -you guys are great and I have no doubt that there are many more super finds waiting for you on that property!
