Updated vid attached 1st Relic hunt with ATPro nets button's and a Seated&Trimes
I have been getting together with Steve Moore with Garrett to film relic hunts in SE Oklahoma. The first hunt was a success with several 1830's buttons and a cannon ball on camera. Today was the first of a two day hunt. I am not quite sure how tomorrow could top this one, for me anyway... Updated here is the vid address
Found two buttons
This 1830's Great Coat Button
And this General service? cuff button
I also found several buck and smaller shot.
This was epaulette was my first.. It came in at 75-79
The finds of the day came in around lunch time.. After finding this one, I wasn't very hungry...lol
This is my oldest US minted coin ever. I can see why this was lost.. it is tiny.. when I first saw it, I had no clue what it was and thought it was fake... Luckily cameraman Brian Mckenzie was there to catch this moment on film. He said a quick release of the vid should be available thursday afternoon... My reaction is well embarrassing.. lol
So after trying to eat and still shaking from the last find we headed back over to the spot where I found the 3 cent. After showing Steve where it was recovered we started scanning... not 5 minutes into starting back another 75ish and thready signal got my attention.. I started to dig and Ole Dilla said better not be another coin.... lol well...
Now I know these aren't that old or rare to most of you, but I am in Southeastern Oklahoma, and I'd never even seen a 3 cent piece in person. I have found younger seated's but not two 1850's coins in one day... a Real First for me... The buttons are a rare find too, but the old silver really gets me fired up!
As soon as the video is release I will post it... Thanks for Looking and Happy Hunting
