Beautiful 1818 Large Cent & NY Militia Button

Ok, I thought the world was coming to an end...NO T NET?!?!?! AHHHHHHHHH~!~~~.....These are my finds from 3 seperate hunts while everyone was "away". I dug this 1818 Large cent at a site that I couldn't find in the summer due to the briars ferns and leaves...just couldn't spot it. Very nice copper. The two tombacs, key, and buckle are from a hunt with HMN and FoundationHunter. And last but not least, my 2nd Excelsior button...I swung by an old cellar hole after work and found it in the dark....I didn't realize what it was until I got back to my vehicle and examined it further...very thrilled about early military buttons..!!! Thanks for lookin...and thank goodness for T-Net being up and running!

I have found a few 1818 LC's and they have always been very nice. I think they used high quality copper that year

I like those Excelsior buttons too. Have found a couple of those as well.

You did well over the Holidays!

An outstanding/excellent/great job of cleaning that copper When you dig as many as you've dug this year, you learn real quick Great digs, like that Excelsior too

I am fond of the 1818 too ! The button is one that has yet to reach my pouch.

How much longer do you have before you freeze up?

It's getting colder and colder at night...I don't really know when the cold snap will come this year...however..I"m one of those guys with a hammer and chisel...lol....my first copper this year was a classic head half cent I hammered out of frozen ground! Some say I'm determined....my wife says "obsessed"

The NY militia button surely is a site for sore eyes! I would just like that eagle perched on some cannons!

Sometimes I get lucky with the soil. Typically my coppers are pretty sluggish.
