Colonial Relic Kind of Day

[Kirk PA]

We got out today to a field that has produced some nice coppers and Milled Pillar half real. The four inches of rain on Thursday made it more conductive in areas, but we pounded this site dang good. It was playing "Hard to Get" and every button or coin was a fight due to the iron. I did get a nice tombac cuff button, 1700s Shell-designed pewter spoon bowl, brass thimble, and a Civil War Eagle cuff button. I found the CW button in someone's already dug hole. The button was to the side of it, but a perfect "Nickel" reading.

All in all, it was a fun day digging relics.

Keep the passion high!

You had a better day than I thought. Today was one of those days that makes you glad you never give up on pounded out sites. We are already in the planning stage for next weeks haul. Our group just keeps chugging along. Just think what we would accomplish if we would detect more than 3 or 4 hours a week.

That eagle cuff button would have made my hunt a success! Don't fret...there's plenty more time to add to the copper pile.

You are due for a big find before the year is over! It is a given...just like gravity!

Chris and I have our minds on a few sites we can knock-a-knock on the door of!

We must next weekend! We must!

We would have double the amount of coppers and relics. We must rack and stack.

Thanks, Keith, I appreciate the response. I can't wait to see your excavations this fall. Say Hi to Hank for me.

The tombac button is my favorite to dig. You will strike some nice coppers soon, Brian.

I am not worried at all. If my year ended now, I would be totally satisfied. I have a nice amount of coppers, a 2 Reales, and a bunch of Colonial relics. What I find now to end the year is all icing on the cake.

Kirk

Nice saves you guys.
Great Tombac button.

Thanks, Mike, for the reply. I love it when those old tombacs pop.

Kirk

Good Finds ! Anytime you dig a Button with an Eagle on it before Great Seal Button is a Good Day !

I am more confused why we do not dig more earlier military buttons. Every Eagle button I have dug this year has been from the CW.

Thanks for the reply, Diggity Dawg. The South Jersey soil is going to be heating up soon. I can feel it in my Colonial bones.

Maybe because of that place called, Gettysburg

One good signal Kirk....this time it was Kyle, next time it may be you. Have you done any digging yet down where you are now living?

No, Steve, we have not detected in this area yet. We are going to be hitting some of my sites though in the future. I told them, "That Pistareen will be found in this area of PA even more. Farthings will be dug as well."
