today's muddy field finds. UPDATE 1/6/11
Cliff and I hunted a tobacco field today where a house stood in the 1800's. It started out frozen but soon became sloppy muddy and we had to leave before we ruined our welcome. He searched several areas and found a broken arrowhead and a 3 ringer that had lost the battle with a plow. I concentrated on one area where the house had been and found 3 flat buttons (one says "standard 34" can't read the others). Broken glassware everywhere. Also found a pretty chunk of pink quartz(?). Going back when the field is not as muddy
UPDATE: had the button I found yesterday in a tobacco field tested today by a jeweler and he said it was a copper base with gold overlay and very old. nice to know
