[HEAVYMETALNUT]

---

Got out with sniffy back to 2 old sites that I been to in the past.there's so much area between these 2 adjoining cellar holes you can spend years trying to cover all the ground in the stone walled fields adjacent to each cellar hole.
anyways we both had a good day! sniffy got a copper and a 18kt gold wedding band.
I got a 1744 King George II copper,a counterfeit pewter seated liberty quarter & another 1820 General Lafayette button.this is my 4th!
a crotal bell and a dog sportsman button.
75 coppers on the year

Great Finds! Awesome job on the King George and cool button! The counterfeit Seated Quarter is very interesting, Makes you wonder how many people it fooled? And if the person living in that area is the counterfeiter? Way to go on another awesome hunt!

Good range of finds. The counterfeit is in pretty good shape.

Nice CFT and GII ! Are your other Lafayettes off center strikes??
You're getting close to the 100 Copper mark

Those are some First Rate finds~!

I like the Lafayette button. Pewter counterfeit is in great shape and should display well. Worth considering coating with elmer's glue mixed with a little water to keep it from flaking away.

Congrats!

What are the chances....... The buttons are not your run of the mill, average buttons and to find four at three different sites is awsome
