Button kind of day

Greylock · Nov 19, 2014

Went searching for a new site and when I got about half way to where I think they are I hit a stone wall and could see a depression in the ground. Ill go looking for the other sites in a few days but I figured I'm standing on a hole now why not detect it. First signal was a nice little nipple pewter button and it was game in from there. Just about two hours I grabbed a few buttons and what looks like a bracelet but I'm not sure. One of the buttons is a nice gold gilt british navy button. 1820's ish? That was about it. Typical cellar hole in my area. A lot of buttons come before any coins. The shield was from the previous scouting mission in the area so I believe it came from this site. Happy hunting.

Nothing wrong with that hunt. The coins will come, but I love finding buttons too, especially colonials with designs and early one piece military buttons.

Thanks again everyone for the nice comments. I went looking for the other sites today but still no luck. On my way back I had some time before I had to be back so I stopped at the button site again and here's the take. A few buttons and a nice little watch winder with the glass still intact.
