Old Plantation Hunt ... Round 3 nets a CW era Pennsylvania State Seal Button!!!

JimBeHuntin' · Dec 13, 2009

Got back to the plantation site one more time for a 2 1/2 hour hunt. This time I put new batteries in the Garrett and worked the areas outside of my last two hunts. This will probably conclude this year's hunt of this site (unless I find myself with no other place to go and a burning desire to do a little digging. My finds on this trip were: one thin and well worn large copper, 1900 V nickel, 1918 wheat, 1937 wheat, a plain dandy button, a large eagle button (1902 - present), a small button, 2 spoons, a salt/pepper shaker lid, a silver plated utensil handle, and a few other odds and ends. Thanks for looking ~ Jimmy

**Note** The small cuff button has been IDed as a CW era Pennsylvania State Seal Button by vayank54 and maineRelic also noted that the button was CW era as well ... many thanks to both of you fellows for your great eye for CW relics!

That little domed cuff is a civil war Pennsylvania state seal. A hard button to find. WTG

Thanks for the reply civilman ... I wish my area had more CW action here but there is little record of any except right in town and most of that area is cemented over now.

Real nice finds Jim-Good buttons. In the not to distant future, Great Seal buttons will be as cherished as CW buttons (like the PA you saved) are today. HH.
