I went to a new location for only 4 hours, and found many old finds. I found a flat button will an ornate design from the late 1700's, a pewter flat button with the same diameter as a USA Continental army button, but it is very corroded, I found a hollow ball button from the mid 1800's, a dome button from the mid 1800's, and one other mid 1800's two piece button. I also found two musket balls, and a colonial shoe buckle. The best find was an 1803 Draped large cent with great details, I could see most of the fine details on liberty, and read all the letters on it. I did not want to risk ruining it, for most of the details were probably held in the crust covering the coin, so I put it in a holder after getting all of the mud off it. This is my third large copper, and my first American large cent. My other coppers were a 1723 Wood's Hibernia, and an unreadable King George II half penny, I have also found an 1861 New Brunswick half cent (An extremely rare coin) in the past.

Pictures will be up later today (For I sent them from my phone to my laptop, but the have not shown up yet)

Thanks for Looking,
