Went out for a full day yesterday, hitting several different sites. While detecting the road leading to the first cellar hole, I got a screaming 33 on the equinox. About an inch down, was the beautiful sight of silver...early canadian silver at that! First year quarter: 1870. From there, it was off to another hole to do some bottle digging. Managed to probe out the privy for a future dig, and got a nice little med bottle. Finally, on my way home, I had the urge to stop at "the button shoreline". This place produced several Rev war buttons, including RFAs, RPs, Navy's and yet another 1st American Queens Rangers button. Very glad to have it!!!

Technically four [emoji6] but I understand how among this group you don’t count if your head isn’t on a coin (except in a couple island countries)!
