Newby, first day dig

[wasilvers]

My kids and I received our new-to-us metal detector. We dug some junk, then my daughter digs up this, an "Ives Kendrick & Co" button - from my searches on here, it seems it is from the mid 1800s. So very cool!

Great find on your first day. Most only dig pull tabs on their first day! I love finding buttons... Id rather find a gw button than a 20$ gold piece any day. Haha

Way to start them off right. Even finding junk can be neat when it's old junk. Nice button

Awesome little relic!

That's a great find even for a seasoned detecting veteran--finding that is like a grand slam on your first time out detecting. Congrats!

Great start to your new hobby/addiction!

SUPERIOR FIRST DAY FIND! Please tell your daughter that in my 3 years of looking at t-net posts, her button is one of the BEST! Also, you and your family should return several times to that same location because you're very likely to dig 1800's silver coins or other groovy items there!

Thanks. The location is my backyard, so I think we'll spend a lot of time cleaning the junk out (and treasures) out of it.
