Been awhile since i posted last, but here are some pics from the past few weeks from when ive had time to get out and dig, mainly been hunting house sites so far this year, favorite find being the early VA Button, back mark on it is "Best Plated", in Alberts it is VA3, 1830's VA one piece, English maunfacture, not in the best of shape but i'll take it haha.

Some great saves there for sure. I've yet to find a Virginia button, but hoping this will be the year.

Funny, that was the first decent find I ever had when I started detecting. Big brass heart heel plate. Hate to admit it but at the time I didn't have a clue what it was :-)
