1888 IH, Old Flat Button...

[Leon]

Hello all,,,
My friend and I snuck back out one more time before the weekend ended. No parks this time, we decided to hit the ol' cache site and get into "Gold Mode", digging foil, & pull-tab signals. Well, I lasted to about the 75th pull-tab and said that's enough of that.

I didn't dig too many low readings after that. The first keeper for the day was this 1888 IH. It's a little worn, and the ground looks to have been pretty rough on it. It was at a depth of only 5" down and was giving the Cz a very strong High-tone.


The only other keeper for the day, other than the 19 cents in clad I had found, was the old flat button.. It has kind of a crinkled rim, and a wafer type pattern in the center. I believe it's made of copper and measures: 1-1/8" in diameter, and about an 1/8" thick...

I hope you all have enjoyed the weekend, I know I had a great time hunting with Gary, and putting the skunk on him...
Good luck all, & Happy hunting~

Thanks all,,,
For those of you who haven't found an IH, YET,,, I wish the best of luck in doing so...
They are a real treat to find....

Nice IH. I found an object that looks like yours too. I was thinking button also. Here is a picture.

Very interesting Evolution,,, that button looks identical except for the two holes in the center of the one I have. I wonder if they both used to have backs on them?, and someone simply recycled the one I have... If so,, they did a nice job on the holes...

Thanks again all,
Good luck, & Happy hunting~
