Double SILVER, 1859 IH, beautiful 1864 2 center, shield nickel, 15 buttons and more!!

[matt092079]

I've put in 3 hardcore days of diggin' before this storm hits tonight and tomorrow and it's paid off! Found the 1871 shield nickel, spencer bullet, brass buckle and bale seal on the first day to get things started. Second day I had a double silver day with a 1907 barber dime and a beautiful silver thimble along with a couple CW bullets, some lead and a nice fuse!! Today a buddy and I hit an early site that dates from mid 1700's with activity on through the 1800's. I ended up with 15 colonial and 1800's style buttons, a nice 1859 indian head, a beautiful and nearly perfect 1864 2 cent piece and other neat odds and ends. The GR Patent thing is cool and the one piece has an eagle on it with "J&M" underneath, anyone know anything about those? I guess I got my fix in before this big snow storm. Until then thanks for looking and HH!

Nice hunts there Matt. That's a nice CS fuse adapter. The GR thing is a lock keyhole cover.

That two center is really beautiful!

Fine hunt there friend ! I agree with the earlier comment about the two cent piece - really a beautiful coin ! the silvers aren't exactly
chopped liver either !!!

Nice finds matt - lots of digging. I wish I could get out as much as you youngsters ha ha

 

[Old Dude]

Congrats on getting out. Your hard work surely paid off well. That's a lot of buttons. Must be the first time that spot was hunted for certain! Hope you get back there soon.

Awesome finds! that 2 center is sweet and I really like the silver thimble as well HH and keep it up!

Great stuff Matt. I'm always amazed at the condition of those shield coins. My 2 cent piece came out beautifully just like yours. I love that thimble. Great job before this damn snow. I haven't been able to get out for weeks. But I did check out one of my great sites and they just cleared tons of brush and undergrowth out so that at least have me something to look forward to. Now I can find that 1652 shilling I've been looking for :-)

Wow. The storm has hit here. You had the right idea on hunting. Nice Hotchkiss fuse and 2 cent piece. Lot of time frames right there in those hunts. Congratulations. It is going to be a good year.

Looks like you're continuing to stay on your hot streak Matt. Nice bunch of finds, and that 2 cent piece has a great looking patina. Hope you guys didn't get buried with too much of the white stuff. We got lucky down here this time with only 2", and then the rain washed it all away.

Thanks everyone. Only digging I'm gonna be doing is with a snow shovel.
