Hey hey diggers!
Another winter passed and detecting season started off with a bang!
I got out for a couple of hours on a site that we ( me and Iron Patch) started hunting last year. It had been previously hunted by others, quite well too, but they sure missed some stuff and some of the better finds were found off the main site around the edges.
Although my finds were few they were certainly good. A bunch of buttons and a couple of coins. Relics were few..consisting of a bent up Jews harp.
Best button of the day for me was a two toned gilt designed button. The pics really don't show the gold on silver in the button but I can assure you its there.
And last but by no means last, the two pennies I found were surprises...two big ole coins left behind.
First was a 1806 British penny and the other was a local penny token.
This rare token is probably one of my best finds to date!
Some of you may remember another example I found about a decade ago...it went to the top of the page.
Great start to 2020! Buttons , coins, and relics...can't wait to get back out and do it again soon!
