I had a day that I only thought I would read about. I found an area away from the Tavern and well, it was about 60 feet by 50 feet wide and it was loaded with signal after signal non stop for two days worth of hunting. Mixed in with the good signals was iron and lots of it. Large spikes, nails, pieces of large iron cauldrons, iron cannon balls, 172 buttons, buckles, lead, pottery, window glass and nine new coins so far. I found one button in particular that I sent pictures of to the masonic library and museum in London, hopefully they get back to me soon its definitely one of a kind. I felt like I walked through a door in history, holy smokes, I still cant believe it. This all started with the 4 reales pillar and waves 1695 coin that is pictured to the left five weeks ago. The button count is 261. The coins are a, almost completely void copper, the only thing left is the pony tail the bust faces right, 1700 King William the third, 1722 Rosa Americana, 1723 Hibernia, 1788 New Jersey Copper,1803 large cent, 1804 1/2 cent, 1813 large cent, 1817 large cent.

All I can say is WOW! i found two of those square Golden West buttons at a site once and could never ID them. Where did you hear they were clothing? Makes sense looking at the metal though.

Dang, I would like to know the history of that spot. It was quite a gathering place.
