It rained much of today but I caught a break late in the afternoon and returned to the Baltimore County field I've been hunting since July.
Again, as it's done many times before, it yielded a couple more relics: a flat button and a piece of iron that looks like it was part of a cooking pot.
The button does have a back mark but not quite clear enough to make out all the words. The cast iron pot piece is 3/16th inch thick, has two raised ridges and what appears to be two attachment points for a handle.
Modern change amounted to $1.14. Oldest coin today is a 1911 wheat.
Did find a modern four-hole button and a fragment from a piece of junk jewelry, maybe a ring, and it looks older.
Good to get out and dig some old along with the new.
Almost forgot the weirdest find of the hunt....a mammoth safety pin marked "137".
