Detecting with JackalopeZL1. colonial goodies, interesting button, and IHC

[treblehunter]

Jackalope flew in from Califorina, we planned a hunt for the next few days on my farm permissions. I don't have a total but we found a good amount of flat buttons, few whatarethey's and a couple old coins. I'll let him tell what he found, I found a beautiful 1864 Indian Head Cent. All I have to do is let it soak a little more in distilled water, nice green patina on her. I also found 7 or 8 flat buttons (I think one might be a modern screw head, not sure yet) The one button has a RA and a 2 on the front, I don't see a backmark. If anyone could help with an ID I would be greatly appreciative. Weather turned out perfect, I hope it holds out for a few days while he is here.
Enjoy the pix

Nice, I will post up in a bit.. that 16oz fillet has me in a coma right now.. lol. What a fun day. Tee shirt weather hunt..

Holy **** you found a 2nd Regiment Artillerists button!!! That's a rare button buddy. 1811-1813 if I'm not mistaken. It's also worth some dough if you don't screw it up while cleaning. Big congrats brother

 

[Scrappy]

Yep, just looked it up.

I knew the info off the top of my head because I've found that button. Mine is in slightly lesser condition though

Congrats on the Regiment of Artillerists! That's an excellent early US military button. I have 5 different War of 1812 artillery buttons, but don't have that one!

Awesome button Brad! I dug an 1812 Artillery button today (AY36) and I was texting with Steve and he told me to come check yours out. Just awesome man. Looks like you had a great hunt and we sure had some great weather today. Looking forward to your next post man.

For a minute there I thought you dug a love token Brad. That's a pretty Indian, cleaned up nicely.

if you don't screw it up while cleaning. Big congrats brother
I have only put it in distilled water, nothing else, light tooth brush. In the field I seen the letters and had that feeling it was something special. I babied it from then on out.

Man you're into some really good dirt.
The button and IHP are beautiful.
Congratulations

Thanks brother, it's a hay-field, I'm thinking not as much fertilizer?

Congrats on a button we don't see very often.

WOW Brad! As soon as I saw that button, I thought old military button. Congrats on a really sweet score.

The IHC is really nice too.

Glad that you got to hunt with a TNet buddy.
