Well dad and I decided to get back out for another couple of hours this morning and it did not disappoint. At first it was a bit slow, but then I dug a small cuff button and immediately afterwards dug a nice foliated "R A" button which stands for Regiment of Artillerists. This was actually the first button of this kind (1811-1813) which is why it does not bare a regimental number below (meaning it is the first and only regiment). It is a fairly uncommon button and one that I am glad to bring home.
Other than that, I dug 5 other buttons (six total) with two being silver washed ones. It was a quick hunt, but also managed to find part of an early and flattened powder flask and yes...two more brass nails.
This will be it for me for 2015 and it looked to go out on a high note!
