My finds from the last two hunts. Best being 1862 seated!

[Helix]

Here are my finds from my last two hunts. My favorite five finds are of course the 1862 seated dime. Nice Benedict & Burnham flat button some type of jewelry with a stone. Thought it was gold, might still be, kind of heavy for its size. What looks like a old homemade ring. Last item I like just because I am a bottle person. I am almost certain its a Hutchinson spring stopper from a Hutchinson type bottle. Don't usually find them in that good of shape.. Were there's a stopper there might be some Hutches to be found!! Dime in the hole.

Finding the dime was a "hat trick"... So I was hunting a old rail road bed but the tracks were never laid.. This was done in 1850's sometime. Any way I was going along doing my thing then all of a sudden I spot a pile of bromo seltzer bottles. Can't miss them,, Cobalt Blue bottles from the 1920's the blue stands out like a sore thumb. I figured maybe its a old bottle dump. So I double back about 12 feet because of a tree in my way and bamm.... Found the dime. Second seated for the year and 4th silver coin for the year.

Nice variety of finds. Have to agree the seated dime is sweet.

Nice seated and the flower button is sweet too! That does resemble a Hutchison type stopper, but it is different than any I have ever dug. I have dug quite a few, and they always had a heavier gauge wire loop and the loop was only connected to the stopper part by one of the wires, not both ends of the wire like yours.
