A Few More Buttons

[Ahab8]

So I think I've finally cleaned out the colonial spot that I've been hunting. I put the T2 in all metal today and rescanned the area. Pulled some very deep buttons which makes me wonder if there's some coins down really deep. This makes a total of 32 buttons from this spot. Some fancy and some plain. Noticed that one of Saturdays buttons had some gold color underneath the top layer. I hit it with a but of naval jelly and it's kind of interesting looking. Also found a pewter button today with a ferrous shank.
This site has produced the 32 colonial buttons, a 1787 Connecticut copper cent, a beautiful 1802 DB Large Cent. 2 shoe buckle frames, a monogrammed silver spoon piece, and best of all very little trash. This was a fun one all will certainly help the button display. Thanks for looking and best of luck out there guys, Abe

Your button collection is quickly becoming one to rival people who have been doing this for years! Congrats to you Abe. Hope the next site is kind to you as well.

Thanks OD! It's nice to have so many big dandy buttons with nice designs. The next site I've got my eye on has some pretty ridiculous history. Starting in 1608 and sporadically until about 1690. Nothing more recent. 2 forts and a 1614 fishing settlement. Then in the 1680s there were about 70 people there attempting to escape the native hostilities. It should be a fun one and it's not very big

Thanks Tim I think about 20 from this site are designed. Should definitely help the button display

wow, you are going to have to expand to display your buttons properly. must be really awesome to pull the out of the ground, to be able to see the various differences between them and to wonder who lost them. a lot of very cool history there.

You may well have it hunted out, but more often than not you could be very surprised what can turn up after the frost leaves next spring. One of my first older sites I hunted a few times, even a couple of times with snow on, so it was gridded well in three directions, next spring I got three more coppers in just one short hunt.

That said nothing better than a new (old) site that is target rich.
