Back from the cold fields with our goodies 1-20-08 UPDATED - George's finds

OK we headed out to our productive site after a nice breakfast. We had five of us today myself, George, Donny, Sam Sr and Sam Jr. As I thought only the top two inches were frozen and had no problem digging. My battery powered heated gloves worked pretty good. The 1864 two center is my 3rd in the last couple months,but by far the best condition. The two piece button with some of the gold on it says Tippecanoe Club on the front and Scovil & Co Waterbury on the back. I also found two identical buttons thats says GII Extra on them. One of the small buttons in rough shape says Washington on it. Hard to see in the pic but it's there. Also a 1920 wheatie thrown in the mix. I know Sam Jr found a 1828 (I think) large cent in good shape. I'll get George's photos later on tonight and will add them to the post. The first 10 pics are mine and the last one is Donny's finds. It was cold but alot of fun.
Good luck out there,

Hey Mike.....Love those relics and buttons. That two-center is a great find!!

Mona I got my battery heated gloves and socks on Ebay. Just do a search on Battery heated gloves.

I am so darn excited, lol, I am new to the hunt and I noticed the end of your spoon in the last picture. I just wanted to let you know, it's a "Roger's Nickel Silver" spoon from the late 1800's. The ONLY reason I know that is because I found a whole one a couple of weeks ago! May not mean much to some, but I sure am excited...lol. Just thought I would share that with you, thanks for the pics!
