Dirt Diggin' Bonanza! Buttons,Coppers,Indians,Indian Artifacts

Well these past 2 days have been VERY good! I headed out with Jim R and Mark out to one of Jim's fields. Found the indians and the pretty 1844 LC along with a handful of buttons. Today my Mom and Arty just went driving on a whim to find some fresh fields. Arty and I were confident because we had the secret weapon! My mom. She is good at getting permission must be a woman thing. Anyway we spent about 3 hours trying to secure permission and ended up in an old area and a nice farmer let us do his old house. Found what looks like a small george coin little smaller than a large little bigger than a HC. Decided to head to one of his plowed fields and nearly left after 15 minutes of nothing. But thanks to my mom who was far to the right we started digging buttons, lots of them. And the enamled black and orange pottery was everywhereeeee. We were diggin fools for the next few hours. Ill just highlight what I found and let those two post their pics! 1817(15 star) Large cent 1809 Half cent 28! buttons a nice saddle shield or decoration that apears silver or tombac. A clog clasp with a nice design on the front. A broken quartz arrowhead and what I THINK is a native american Pestel. Thanks for looking gonna rest now :tongue3:

Sweet digs, Jim! You better hurry with those fields. It looked like the tractors have had their tune-ups and the fields are ready for planting!

Great finds Jim and great day. I am to tired to post. Will have to do that tomorrow. We sure got lucky today with a great field. You just never know. Maybe one more week before the planting. It has been a great ride. Now for the beach detecting. You should give it a try:) Never know what you will find down there either :laughing7: But then I heard that the fish are biting:)

Thats a nice bunch of finds Jim.

Congrats to your mom and her knack for getting permission.
 

Re: Dirt Diggin' Bonanza! Buttons,Coppers,Indians,Indian Artifacts

Congratulations! Like your coins and buttons. :icon_thumleft:
 

Re: Dirt Diggin' Bonanza! Buttons,Coppers,Indians,Indian Artifacts

Picture #3, I have the exact same item...

Great finds and yes, it is easier for a woman to ask for permission. They don't think we dig big holes!!!

Thanks guys. VB that is the same one. Did you find it in a farm field? ?And do I have a pestle here or is it just a long rock :tard:
 

Re: Dirt Diggin' Bonanza! Buttons,Coppers,Indians,Indian Artifacts

Awesome :thumbsup:
 

Re: Dirt Diggin' Bonanza! Buttons,Coppers,Indians,Indian Artifacts

Thanks for the great day. Your finds were many, keep swinging that button magnet. That clog clasp is sweet. Arty
 

Re: Dirt Diggin' Bonanza! Buttons,Coppers,Indians,Indian Artifacts

It is interesting that previously I had not seen clog clasps being featured in people's posts. All of the sudden, several have been found and I think all in South Jersey! Very cool.
