Return to Silver Fields: War of 1812 2nd Regiment of Rifles & Artillery Buttons

Went back out to the "Silver Fields" to let Jeff dig some Silver as its been a couple months for him

I decided I'd let him dig the Silver today and I would set the detector

to "Quality Button" mode and try to locate something for the Button case. I was able to come up with a couple beauties while Jeff also was able to end his Spanish drought

with a couple silvers so all and all it was a very good day for both of us. Have a look:

Thanks for sharing your adventures with us, Josh. You have always been a class act. Take care in a Colonial way, man. :icon_thumleft:

Congrats

Thanks Dman, I was pretty happy when I saw BOTH of these pop out! They always come when your least expecting it too. I was running a line in a field that was near exhaustion and there it was, BEEP BEEP, a solid signal pounding my ears at 75-81 on the MXT. When I heard that I knew it was an old button or coin. When I popped it out it was face down and I thought "just another flat button"....then I turned it around and saw that Bugle! That button is still in VERY good shape for the type of button that it is...and the Artillery button, just simply in Great shape...when I popped the plug on that one it was Staring right at me in the center of the hole face up! As you know, they're usually face down....so it was pretty sweet to see that looking back at me.
