We have not been out much and our sites have been a bit dry, so I started some research. I found a school house on a map dated 1932 and checked the sat. photos and its now a Field...soooooo I got permission from the owner and off we went Friday night Markg, Kenpa and myself for 2 hours and today Kenpa, Johnnymc for a few hours. we did pretty good I came out with 2 silver washingtons 2 silver Mercs, and 9 wheat's, and a token, all from the 40,s. Also got a heavy silver ring. The school was not as old as we had hoped but hey it was fun and a good spot to go back to.

I also included some relics found during my last couple hunts including some flat buttons, a complete pocket watch, some buckles, etc. I think the large one is a buckle, got it from a site where all the coins found were 1800s.
the last photo is a button, I found in an area where we found many Eagle I buttons, and some officers buttons, this one however has 2 horses over a shield with an eagle on top, any Ideas? the back says SCOVILLED M.F.G. WATERBURY

Thanks for looking TnT..

Whoa, nice haul. Good job. Nice group of finds. :thumbsup:
 
Wow those are some awsome finds, sorry I can't help with the ID of the button, But I would like to ask if you could provide a picture of the inside of the pocket watch, that's gotta be the best looking one I've seen yet on here in that codition, Seger98

Your button is a Pennsylvania State Seal Two Piece. Not sure of the date but it looks very Civil Warish. I wish I had a book to let you know. Mine is packed in the attic right now.

Thanks for the info, I was trying to locate photos but...nada....it is in surprisingly good shape...TnT
 
Nice bunch of finds. Come on now, you mean you didn't recognize your own state's seal. Shame on you. :icon_jokercolor:

I know..sad but true..he he...
 
great job and I am sure you will return
 
Nice CW items! Great silver! FANTASTIC watch! Now that's some EXCELLENT variety for a hunt. There should be some older coins there--and more flat buttons. Nice work!
