Wasn't going to go out anymore this year but decided to go one last time. Went back to the field my buddy and I hunted last week and found between 40 and 50 buttons and a few coppers.

Have been hunting with the deus the last couple of outings and decided to take the equinox thismorning. We hit this site hard for 2 days, I didnt find a ton of stuff thismorning, but it just goes to show you can never get it all!

Found a couple more buttons, one large dandy that I can't believe we missed before, a couple of small shoe buckle fragments, and the frizzen off of a flintlock rifle! The frizzen was found in the middle of where the shoebuckle fragments and many tomback buttons was found so I'm guessing definitely time period.

Wow, I don't find that many buttons in a year! Good going. Amazing how a big target can be missed. I've found a large bell one time and a half dollar another right in an area hunted many times by many people. The bell was shallow and the half on top of the ground!
 

Love that silver washed button and the frizzen!! Excellent work!
