I’ve been traveling a lot for business recently so not much detecting lately. Made it out this weekend for a couple hours and didn’t find much.

Then went back to the Colonial site in the park at lunch today. Nothing to show but shotgun headstamps, then a weak 20-21 when swinging over a smaller downed tree. Moved the tree and the signal cleaned up and was a solid 20 almost too loud. Was thinking partial can top, but about 4 inches down.

In the woods I can see the parts of the copy around the edge from a GWI and part of the Eagle Shield. She’s the roughest one, but still a thrill to dig.

This makes 3.5 GWI’s from this site, the .5 went to SteveInPa

Heading down to the Charleston SC 4th of July week, Kiawah Island. I plan on doing some beach detecting at night, but if anyone has a relic site around Charleston and they are up for a partner, send me a PM and I will repay you with some Colonial sites in Pittsburgh... I’ve never dug a CW bullet, on my bucket list....

Congrats on #3.5. That accounts for all 4 that would have been on the card unless the guy bought multiple cards and made a coat of those buttons :dontknow:

What do you mean 'would have been on the card'? Is this how these buttons were originally sold? I did a quick goog search and couldn't find any images of surviving examples nor really anything about this.
 

Congrats! I love those buttons, that must be a thrill finding one of them let alone 3.5
