[junkhunter]

Finally made it out to another long island hunt(organized hunt that supports local hist. group)Used GPX both days.Got a king george copper of some sort.Same size as my 1/2 penny.Also dug 19 flat buttons including 3 with patterns on.One is a very weird design.Looks kinda like the end of a telescope from back.But design on inside rim.Also got a part of a bell and lead,toy soldier,and a fork,part of a copper or brass buckle,lead seal with RNP on it,and mystery brass/ copper bits.
