As you can tell by my handle my occupation is that of a barge line pilot on the Upper Mississippi river,so every other month I spend a lot of my time in search of history,each time I pick up a button,coin or a childs toy I look at it, think of who was the last one to have this in their hand so many years ago. The 1852 3 center is a first for me,it was found just a week ago on a home site just up the road from my house,the 1854 o half dime and 1853 o dime came from the same site, I collected about 30 buttons off of this site also, only 1 of them being an eagle button, the 1854 o dime came from what is listed on my 1872 plate book as being a work farm. this site also produced a 1862 indian head and a 1853 large cent, plus a few clay marbles and a childs toy cannon. Right now the ground is covered with a light dusting of snow and frozen hard as a rock. Looking forward to warmer wheather so I can go dig in the dirt, something I've been doing since I was a kid,you'd think I'd be getting tired of it. Happy hunting to all !
