Thursdays Hunt - Coppers and Buttons

[Hunthicks]

Got out with Patriot and our other digging buddy last Thursday for the first hunt of the year. Three coppers; 1876 Large Cent, 1820 Trade and Navigation, 1815 John Alexr. Barry Halifax token. Few flat buttons. Lots of other junk not shown. Domed flat button at the bottom left came a few feet from Patriots rev war button, and this one looks like it had a design with possibly a crown at the top - but too far gone to tell. Was great to get out after the winter, even if it did rain half the day and my headphones kept cutting in an out, probably missed a few targets because of them!

Your pile looks like my sad little pile from my first outing on the weekend.
It's not so much the finds but getting a shot at some awesome potential, I think you'll do pretty good this year, just keep doing what you're doing!

Those are almost as toasted as mine were first dig.
The LC looks Newfie.

Your off to well enough start, buttons and coppers isn't half bad.

Anytime large coppers and flat buttons come out it was well worth the effort!

Yup, it'll probably clean up pretty decently as well. I never mind a good newfie coin.

If I'm digging those and musketballs I know there's a chance that killer old target is there as well!

Yep, I don't mind a crusty copper, as some days you might get none, as long as there is the "chance".

Don't know how I miss some of these post…even from my own detecting bud!…. I lucked out that day but guess we all had a fair shake at it...

Nice early finds buddy. Dig enough holes from that time period and you'll nail some stunners. Hope you fellas have a great year

Nice digs. I would take them in a heart beat.

Yup, we all had the chance at a good button, and I bet there's more if it gets ploughed again!

I think we have good potential, lots of interesting sites new and old on the table!
