Walked my old colonial creekfront site again yesterday at low tide, and pulled out another 75 pieces of indian pottery, plus a few colonial shards. The only metallic find was this early pewter button with the huge loop. Has some kind of a design on the front, but haven't cleaned it up yet. Afterwards I got with Reid for a short hunt, and matched his find from the previous day with another HMA button. This one's in bad shape too, but its still a keeper.

Is that your first Bill? And it doesn't matter a bit what they look like, they all bear the same significance. Congrats to both of you :thumbsup:

When there's probably only 20-30 known, it's awesome to see any and every one.. I think your next one is gonna be a looker :wink:

I know he dug one at my buddy Louis's site a couple years back. I believe the one pictured in the photo of his buttons from a few months ago.
