The Copperfield gives up one more plus Gilt

[Merf]

Greetings Friends.
The weather being near perfect I went back and pounded the old farmstead site for a few more hours. Found another LC,an IH, A flat gilt button, the back of a button, and a Benedict and Burnham Gilt button [1833 to 1842].
This one has the most gilt on it of any I have found.
Thanks for looking and best luck to all Merf

Cool. Nice buttons and LC. The LC is not as good as the others you have found recently but still a nice find as the IH. Wish I had some time to pound the field. Maybe later this year....

You use a rock tumbler to clean your coins right? I usually would say thats a harsh way of cleaning coins but yours usually come out nice.. very nice finds

Thanks Nick and Jimmy--
I have had a lucky streak.
The farmer that told me about this site is just a great guy.
I gave him the Silver thimble and two LCs today and he invited me back to hunt after the corn is picked.
