Well it's been a long time since I posted. I figured I needed to get out for some ground disturbance. I left the house for a new spot only to discover I left my spade, I returned home to get it. I know I'm getting rusty at this dirt fishing thing....a year ago that would have never happened. I have been pretty busy the whole year....In January on 2009 I hit my goal of breaking through the 1800 barrier, I have not hunted much since then. I've been in a silver slump for way over 8 months. If I put the time in more maybe my luck would change.

Anyway I opted to go to a ole stand by spot that gives up the 1940's stuff.....and modern. Got a cool marble, a coat button of unknown origin, a wheat, and a pocket spill of 50's nickels, modern coin, a play ring that made my leg jump, a washer that's worth a 5¢, a bullet looking thing which has rings on it, and piece of wire that's heavy and will not corrode?

The button looks like a British Navy button. If you can post a pic of the back that would help. The bullet thing is a fired bullet. Looks fairly modern from the pic.

Glad you were able to get out and find the old man's stuff ... he had a cool button and a fair amount of change as well as a sweet marble ... good job!
 
That's a cool looking button! And I don't know what it is about marbles, but I love to find 'em.

Nana :wink:
