Yesterday was not one of the nicer days in east central Indiana, I was talking to Larry on the phone and we decided to go try hunting for a while, I'm glad we did.
We got to site we had researched and after a bit of wondering we found the house site, The first good target I dug was a 1848 Large cent, and then a little while later I dug a 1852 Large Cent, before the short day was over I also dug 6 buttons, one being a civil War Eagle I, and one was a nice "Flower" button with gold gilt, the other 4 were flat buttons, just before we left I dug the hooks out of a US civil war buckle, some one must have needed the lead and melted it out of the buckle and discarded the hooks and buckle skin. During ther day I would have to take my glasses off and put them in my inside pocket so that the frozen rain would melt off of them, it was hard to see the meter on the detector as it was covered with s thin coating of ice. No one ever said that we were to smart (I heard about it when I got home LOL)But we did have a lot of fun.When I get more time, I'll clean up the coins and buttons a little better. So my first hunt for 2009 produced 2 Large Cents, 6 Buttons and the hooks from the buckle. Thanks for looking........Lee
