1st hunt since hip surgery... yields CW artifact

[Chitlin]

Hey folks... been MIA for a while after getting my hip resurfaced in September. First hunt back, the day before T-day was at a spot without much promise. We went just because we could. Freshly scraped ground on random city street corner. I enjoy the hunt as much as the find, even though a few trinkets are great to find....
Amazingly, right off the rip I dug a Union Eagle cuff button, no markings on the back(?), then after much recent trash, pennies and pull tabs, went back to area the button came from and got a broken 3 ringer then a little mini ball. Sweet...then comes the hat trick with the liberty head dime, button, bullets and coiniage . Amazing how clean and beautiful the dime was right out the ground...the Indian head was a bonus too.

Feels good to be back...still a little sore today, had to stick my bum leg straight out behing me to reach down. Where there's a will there's a way... Happy hunting everyone.

My hunting buddy and I were neighbors growing up together....we were always scavengers but never metal detected , kick my self now. It has been a great excuse for us to have fun again after careers, marriage and kids got in the way...lol.

The zipper in the photo was the very first thing I found. Strong signal so my buddy is saying "what is it what is it"... I act all jubilent and say "It's part of a coat".. he comes dashing over all excited I hand the zipper to him. 3 minutes later I dug the button and he didn't believe me, I had to walk it over to where he was and show it to him

Good Times.
