LARGE CENT,2 CENT & MY 1ST COMPLETE KNEE BUCKLE

after a small painting job took a cruise up to a cellar hole me & sniffy hit awhile back.
last visit there i got a matron head & sniffy got a real ornate cloak button.seemed pretty quiet last time we were there and after a few hours packed it in.
the site is narrow close to rd up on a hill.
today was a shocker & never expected this stuff to pop out
up on a small incline leading up to where i think outhouse was all this stuff came from that area.i kicked downed branches aside and VOILA paydirt!
a nice 1837 matron head large cent(looks like a die crack going through stars),,a 1865 2 center,a holed blank what i think is a copper?
a designed pewter button (with a tombac style coned shank) and last but not least my 1st complete knee buckle.was a sweet 4 hour aftrenoon hunt for sure!
not sure if i can count the holed copper disc as a copper about the same thickness & diameter as a braided hair LC

I dug the silver version of your knee buckle back in '07, minus the center clasp. Congrats on some great digs!

Nice buckle! Never got a more rounded buckle like this one. Ours here are most rectangular. Congrats!

Very nice! And I see that you are using a Silver Eagle, out here in Denver people laugh at me for occasionally
still using mine. "It's heavy, it's old"
And when I go back east, people want to buy it from me.
I still think it's the best detector for any copper.
Keep killing them up in CT.

i agree totally.it's a great machine! had it since 1991 and has never let me down.it's on it's last legs though.the scren gets jumbled up and i gotta smack the side of the housing then she's ok this machine been through hell and back.zero degree snowy hunts,100 degree rainstorm hunts and she just keeps finding great stuff!

Mail it off to Whites, I don't know how many times they have resurrected mine. I laughed my a*s off when you said you have to smack it on the side, I still occasionally have to do that to mine as well. Brings back memories of our old black and white TV.

Plan to be buried with mine, talk about product placement!
