More spanish silver, love token, buttons and more

[Bill D. (VA)]

Got out at another new site yesterday that my friend Dan had gotten permission for. It was just a small field and our initial assessment after walking the site was that the finds were going to be primarily limited to one small section. So we hunkered down and spent most of the day there only to be forced to cut the day a little short when a fierce snow squall blew through late in the afternoon. Dan made the find of the day with a beautiful early concave VA button (Albert's VA1). I'm showing a pic below that I took in the field right after he dug it. Killer button for sure. I finally came through late in the day with an early 1700s cut piece. I also recovered a cool 1882 seated dime that had been made into a love token. That was my 2nd love token ever, with the first being my only gold coin dug almost 15 years ago. I was also able to recover a nice shield nickel, a very worn flying eagle cent, a marine cuff button along with a fancy colonial one, and a few other misc relics. We plan to return soon and work some of the heavy iron areas with small coils as we know there are still coins and relics hiding there.

I have to tell you again Bill AWESOME FINDS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I swear every time I log onto to TNET you have a post and your finds are just spectacular and amazing ! I wish we had more 1600's and 1700's site in my area but due to development most of those location have been wiped out so we have to settle for mainly C.W finds ! Which in not complaining !!!!!

Nice USMC button. I sure would like to know how it ended up where you found it. Does it say anything on the back?

It does have 3 or 4 little stars around the perimeter of the back, but the rest of it is damaged so any backmark has disappeared.
