1799 Farthing, Jews Harp, Buttons and round balls.

VERMONTPACKRAT · Oct 22, 2012

Today I did four hours on the "Church Field". I dug every non-ferrous signal I found. Small, shankless buttons were poping up everywhere. I managed a few good finds today. No more G.W. Buttons but a good hunt. The only old coin find was a 1799 Farthing. The Jews Harp is something that I have wanted to dig for a while now :icon_thumright:

The rest of the stuff is your typical Tombac buttons, round balls, bullets and a few other relics to weigh dowm my displays.

The buttons came out of the ground pretty nice. I am lucky to have sandy soil in this field so the finds clean up easy. I use hot Peroxide and finish with vaseline.

Nice Farthing...I haven't dug on of those yet,same with the jew's harp

That's a good hunt VPR! I have never found a decent Jews Harp, just a couple broken ones. Farthings like that one don't show up too often around here. They are usually KG II Brittanias or Hibernias.
