Finds from a couple short hunts recently - 1801 LC & Jeweled Watch Winder

[Steve in PA]

Between work, weather, and a new girlfriend, I'm finding it hard to get out this spring. Here are some finds from a couple of my well pounded sites. Hopefully I will get some time to explore for new sites before the weeds grow up and the fields are planted.

The first hunt gave up a nice nickel plated suspender buckle and a few flat buttons. On the second hunt, my very first signal was the 1801 LC. Shortly after that I dug the watch winder with the glass jewel. Not much after that, then it started rain and I left. Hopefully over the Easter weekend I will be able to make up for lost time!

Quindy, the soil is generally acidic where I hunt, particularly on the mountain ridges. The site where I dug this large cent is very acidic. Most of the coppers were in very bad shape. This is one of the nicer ones.

Arty,

I have only ever dug 5 watch winders that I can think of, but 2 of them had glass in them. Here is the other.
