been going back to a 1800's site that i had last hit 2 years ago and its still turning out some nice relics, i was blown away by the 1851 trime with the New Orleans mint mark, only 720,000 of those produced i believe.

Unusual oak leaf button - nice
 

button has WH Jones back mark and off the top of my head i think he was in business from the mid 1830's to mid 1840's??
 

Very nice finds. The coins are just spectacular. Congrats on making me jealous! GL&HH!
 

Those are some great finds. Really like the bust coinage and trimes. And that button isnt something I have ever found.
 

Killer finds calmerthanu! That trime is amazing. The one I found was worn pretty bad.
 

Nice coin finds! The button has an interesting design.

Thank you for sharing.
 

Scarce to see a 3¢ silver... scarcer to find a New Orleans 3 center! The CBHD is also a nice find!
 

they are all really nice
 

real nice finds. that "flower" button with the oak leaf is really interesting. I have never seen this design either. it looks stunning with the remaining gilt. congrats.
 

Nice finds! That's the only year they made any 3 cent coins in New Orleans as I recall. I looked that up, hoping that one of us might dig one down here. No luck yet.

Cheers,

Buck
 

I like em all !! The Trime is in excellent shape , so is the Cappy - you have a good site there !
 

Two sweet little silvers there!! The leaf button is just beautiful!
 

Love both om them! Great condition as well. After four years in this hobby, capped and trime coinage has eluded me so far. Congrats on some sweet finds, love the button also!
 

Nice old coin finds. Thanks for sharing.
 

Nice work on the low mintage 3 center, love the Half Dime too!

Beautiful finds, all in very good condition! :treasurechest::thumbsup:
 

Some damn nice finds. That capped bust silver is not easy to find. But that button is beautiful. Never seen anything like it
