King Geo. II, Large Cent, Merc Dime.

[Garabaldi]

Went down to my usual site, but there was a sporting event going on, so I tried another spot and they had it torn up with no trespassing signs, so went to an old forgotten site and scored. This site dates back to the mid 1700's, but I have never found anything that old. First I found a couple of wheat pennies, then this large button. I nearly passed out, but most important gave me a better attitude about the place. Then dug the Mercury dime, very deep. Then got the George II about a foot deep and I was in shock. Haven't dug a Colonial copper all season. Then dug my nicest large cent, 1843. Two hour hunt pays off. I love this hobby. Hope your all digging it.

Thanks Blaze and Arty. I was a bit rough cleaning the button I think. . A little blue ribbon will go a long way.

I always hit my Dandy buttons with 0000 steel wool if they are really decorative..

Just make sure its not a Washington button or something of that status

Nice variety of early finds. I like the dandy button. The KG looks like 1732.
