Largie for that lousy piece of Iron (the second piece) you found today 
It is Beautiful day in Pennsylvania today. The weather has cooled down a bit, sun shining, what a day to be detecting. We started off meeting Mach 1 at daylight where some construction has been going on. He had located a big piece of iron yesterday but couldn't get it out at the time. That piece turned out to be a big heavy iron pot lid, nice relic for sure. Should have taken a picture of it, BTW Mach it's still in the back of my Truck 
While he was working on that I found the large button in the picture. Not long after that he got a Mortar Ball piece that may match the one I found a couple of weeks ago, we'll see later. I walked across the road and came up with what may be a smashed trigger guard, followed by a small ramrod holder and the smaller button. I wondering if the rest of the gun isn't somewhere near by...I hope to find out. Then we all went to another site we had pounded pretty good in the past. I manage a nice medium flat button then Mach had to leave. So John and I stayed about 20 minutes and then left for home. He hadn't found much so I asked him if he wanted to stop at the Red Brick house he found the largie at last weekend. I had about 45 minutes before we had to be home. DeArmitt got himself a flat button 
I got an iffy hit on the F-75 pinpointing at 7 inches. As I got ready to dig I noticed someone had dug there before. Who ? One of us for sure But I don't know. Anyhow at around 7 inches and to the side of hole that was already dug I found this 1803 Cent. Anyone know which Variety it might be ? That back is pretty bad. Now one of us for sure missed it but neither John or I knew who missed it. Check your holes Another fun day in PA

Here is a couple of pics of Mach's and my first fragments which match up, Now will his piece today fit the puzzle ??
