RINGING IN THE NEW YEAR! CT CIVIL WAR BUTTON

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

Got out with Sniffy for some snowy sloppy cellar hole hunting.
got a few buttons one being a Connecticut Civil War button with a Scovill's back mark. a bell with iron clacker inside that still swings
2 old iron locks.i dug the complete one.Jessie didn't want the incomplete one so,i grabbed it.
No coppers but the year has just begun

Nice overall hunt, Dave! Your year will be filled with plenty of greenies, so don't worry. I found my first one today on our group's bonus hunt.

You sure are a diehard snow detectorist. I may have to try some woods detecting again so I can swing more in the winter months. I got my first copper of the year Jan. 2nd.

Great CT Button!
Looks like you got a nice old buckle there,
I posted one a while back & replies stated the 2 prong buckles date around 1720
the other buttons ain't too shabby either,
Lots of bells being dug lately, (Got 4 myself in Nov-Dec)
here's a similar shaped one, no plating or clapper.
Nice digs & Scenic shots!

Ugly tree Man, that tree has character!! Makes you wonder what it may have seen during its lifetime. If I had the section shown in the picture dried and cured, I could make some beautiful Native American flutes.
I guess the old saying is true: "One mans trash is another mans Treasure".

Great finds!!
