Fall Kickoff

[Iron Patch]

Results from my last couple of hunts and nothing fantastic, but dug plenty of holes so had the chance. The coppers are not real old, but did include a British Victoria penny which was a first i think. Funny how after so many years even common things still come along that you have not dug before. Other stuff, a tombac bell, 2nd for the year, but hadn't seen one in a very long time before that... button mold which is my 2nd, couple modern Navy buttons, 1700s British navy, jews harp, etc..

Maybe nothing special to you but I would be stoked about any of those finds. I really like the button mold

Sweet finds IP!

Very cool button mold. Would love to find one some day.

Cool assortment of finds still, liking the mold.

Yeah the mold is cool and they sure don't show up often.

I'm going with the crowd that mold is awesome

Now you need to go through all of your buttons and see if you can find one that matches that mold...

Cool stuff! I really like the bell! Congrats!!!

Go figure this is the one really active site that has very few buttons. Any other site we would have dug as many targets we probably would have found 30-40 between us, instead it was just a few.

So that's why I have such wisdom, and you, not so much.

I'm pretty sure it's all the partying I did when I was young that's responsibly for me being an idiot :-)

Maybe it regenerates the older we get.... After we stop destroying out brains and bodies lol

Either that, or you just make better use of what you have left.

Nice grouping of finds congrats.

 

[ironhorse]

Lots of time this fall to make some even better finds I'm thinking, still you got a decent start!

I'm looking forward to filling up my pouch again!

I think we have a starting point for next time out, but not quite a plan that will fill a pouch... yet!

No shortage of targets, that's always good.
Nice button, the mould is cool (never got anything like that), and any complete bell like that is a good find IMHO.
