My Best Hunt EVER! 1/2 Reale, Irish Copper and 1812 Artillery Button

[mbcuce]

Left work and went straight to our site. Have had some great hunts in the last couple of weeks but today was Epic for me. I found a 1/2 reale, pretty worn but identifiable cross, a George II Irish copper and a great war 1812 artillery corps button with a cannon and eagle. Also found 6 other period buttons and two buckles all in about 2 hours. Snakes and gnats may be ending the season but I got go back tomorrow and see what else is there.

Anyone know what the buckle is in the lower left of the first photo? I've seen them in other's posts, but not sure what they would be from.

I startled a snake, maybe a moccasin, with my detector. I gave him room but kept going. Skin so soft seemed to take care of the gnats. They were ungodly before that.

I was so excited by the Cobb I forgot about the other items. I am thinking the buckle is some kind of strap for a back pack or something. It has a bend in the middle that seems too even to be damage, like it is supposed to be like that.

Im not a big snake fan but for sqeeters ticks and all other annoying insects I use deep woods off 40 percent deet. Put that in a display case wowza

You guys have a nice little click going on up there, those cobs are no easy find even in our neck of the woods. Nice digs

Yeah VMI, we have been so lucky with permissions lately. We have had a few productive sites that have never been hunted before. I know it will taper off so we are enjoying it while we can.

Good while it lasts. This spot has been productive.
