I Swear this was my last hunt...(1859 Seated love token, 38mm flat button + LC)

[Scrappy]

Famous last words I suppose. I've been studying and indoors for two weeks and I needed a break. So j grabbed the detector and headed out to a spot I have on the property of an old folks home. I haven't been there all season since a few old timers had complained, but I figured the cold weather kept them inside.

This property abuts "colonial parking lot" and has the site where the actual house stood. I never found the foundation until today while digging a copper clock face. Low and behold in the hole 18" down were foundation stones. It was 75' from where I approximated the foundation to be...

So I grid and everything is deep. I dig a chirp and 14" down was a love token no in-situ, sorry. It's my first love token and quite a nice one.

Then I dig a merc and the next signal is an LC at 8"

Anyway, I dig a couple buckles and an few Indians but didn't take pictures. I wasn't planning on posting so now I'm at work with only a few pics. I'll add more when I get home if anyone is interested.

The flat button is 38mm!

The LC looks like holy hell. Dry cleaning took detail off and I opted for peroxide. You can't win 'em all



Overall it was a good hunt. Everything is wicked deep since dirt was pushed atop the foundation but I'm sure I'll pick a few more out come spring.

Enjoy!

I agree, Scrappy. But, I like to think it gives a break for the "next" hunt, not the "last".

You're right. I'm actually eyeballing patches appearing in the snow cover after those warm days. The next hunt may be closer than we think!

Nice token, and great detail too! Congrats!

Thanks for looking man

That love token is fantastic. Gonna be a good yr for you man
