2 Civil War Buttons + Large Penny

[Colonial Zoyboy]

I got out today with Paco and KirkPA to relic hunt the farm that has been super productive over the past few months. I began in an area that contained a homestead in the mid-1800s. It wasn't long before I got a nice "P" on "Penny" reading on my WHITE'S. So, I dug down, and was rewarded with my first Yankee Infantry coat button. I then started to grid the area painstakingly slow, while acting suave when numerous cars went by. I was sauntering down my grid path, and was startled with a "Nickel" reading. This relic turned out to be a Yankee cuff button.

After my short break, I attempted to work my same pattern, hoping to get at least one coin from the area. I was acting like J. Walter, turning my head from side-to-side in hopes of locating some pottery; non-glazed is 1700s and glazed is 1800s, as stated by Mr. Walter. I eventually got a "D" on "Dollar" reading, which turned out to be an 1854 Braided Hair cent!

Paco, Kirk, and I all agreed that this chap came home from fighting in the Civil War, and settled in this historic village. We agreed that he used his infantry buttons on his civilian clothing or quite possibly wore his war coat. Thanks, bud, for dropping a Braided Hair and two of your butttons!

I will let KirkPA post what Paco found today. I will give you guys one hint: it was his first...

"I would listen for that whisper."

"Can you see a date on it?"

 

[Colonial KirkPA]

"John, are you into Wheat pennies and Rose dimes?"

"Noooo, I'm not into them newer coins."

The guy who has been dropping the coins in the area, most likely, fought in Gettysburg!
