New season starts with an Infantry button + more

ModernMiner · Oct 4, 2010

Well Folks, the NC heat is finally gone and after laying low for about 4 or 5 months I've been chomping at the bit to get out and do some CW relic hunting.
Friday I hit one of my old spots for about an hour and recovered an Eagle cuff button (14.5mm) and a pewter spoon (?) handle.
Today after work I threw on my brown coat & antlers and headed out into the woods. O.K., I really had my orange vest on. :tongue3:

I worked an area that I've hit numerous times and have always seemed to come home with something as seen in these videos from earlier this year:

Today was no different. I ended up with:
*Eagle Infantry button (20.5mm)
*"Rich Gilt" button (20mm)
*Cuff button with gold gilt (13.5mm)
*Flat button (20mm)
*Musket ball
*Another pewter spoon piece
*Asst'd other.

Not a bad start and no snakes or ticks. :icon_thumleft:

Thanks for looking,
MM

Merf,
I was up in your neck of the woods over the weekend. Northern Indiana actually. Those cut fields were making me drool. :P

That is a great start for the season. The video's were good. I like the lock plate any I.D yet? It is hunting season here and not a bad idea if you are hunting to have a little orange on.
Good luck this season,, hope you and Sally have a banner year ! :thumbsup:
