Colonial coin, Draped Busts, buckles, and NYS Militia button

[GKman]

CtTodd and I had a great day detecting. We went back to a field that we had detected at last fall with good results. Today we walked away with another great handful of finds . We both found many buttons dating from the late 1700 to early 1800s . Todd found a nice buckle and a draped bust large cent and a couple more coronet head large cents. Some of his buttons had some nice detail on them also.

I found a Connecticut copper and 3 other large cents one is 1814 and the other 1843 , two thimbles and a New York militia Excelsior button that dates from about 1792 to 1820 or so.

Amazingly the ground was still frozen in some places. We can't wait for the farmer to turn the field.
