Virginia Button(Wartime Mfd.), Jews Harp & A ROMAN Coin found in VA??!? VIDEOS

Hey T-Net. Jeff(UmrGolf2000) and myself got out again yesterday to one of our fields that has just recently been
plowed, taking a break from the city lot where we dug the Eagle "A"s. We wanted a change of pace, and the owner of the field called us yesterday to let us know that he'd just got done discing the field. Well, we knew that this would pretty much make it a new spot again. We ended up having a good day digging a Southern Wartime MFD. Virginia Button and many other goodies! So without further adieu, here's the pics and videos:

-Virginia Button-Wartime MFD "Virtus w/ Sword Raised" by Canfield Brothers/ Baltimore
-Constantine Roman Copper/Bronze coin
-1824 Large Cent
-1856 Large Cent
-1863 Fatty Indian
-1860s Fatty Indian
-Confederate Enfield Blown-through bullet
-Lead filled hat rosette
-War of 1812 Eagle w/shield cuff button
-War of 1812 "Artillery Corps" Eagle Button
-Artillery Fuse
-1600s Ring (Broken)
-Jews Harp
-Reins guide-broken
-Broken Spur
-Broken shoe buckles, flat buttons, etc.


Here's the Virginia button fresh from the Ground:






1821 Large Cent, 1856 Large Cent, 1867 or 68 Indian Head "Fatty"


Virginia Button after cleaning:

Front: Note, this is a silver gilted button.




Back: Canfield and Brothers / Baltimore. This makes the button worth more as it is a Southern-made, Wartime, button



War of 1812 "Artillery Corps" Eagle button with Cannon and cannonballs


Constantine Roman Copper/Bronze Coin?? (The dug coin on the left is next to one that I received from a charity after donating money for a cure to breast cancer...they sent it to me as a "thank you" token. Its probably only worth $20 but is a really cool coin) Notice the ribbon in the hair of both coins. It looks VERY similar)





Part of a Plate or pin with Eagle's Head and a star.....It is folded over on itself....It almost looks like a number "1"....

Great finds. The Roman coin makes you wonder how it got there. That's something to think about. Congrats on the Virginia button.

Constantius II is the most likely bet.. The reverse is different from the one you were given, its the 'two soldier, two standard' type.

Looks like another great hunt, now you need to aim for a Celtic stater

Awsome stuff. The one that amazes me is also the Roman coin. I have a couple that are very similar with the 2 soldiers on the reverse. Paid around 5 bucks each on Ebay. The big question is why there was one buried in the ground in the US. How far are you from the coast ?

Re: Virginia Button(Wartime Mfd.), Jews Harp & A ROMAN Coin found in VA??!? VIDEOS

Thanks for the help Crusader For those of you who are just as baffled as me about the Roman coin.. It was dug in the same field where I dug the two lined "I" buttons and boot pistol a few weeks ago. Yes it is right on the coast and the finds from the field have dated from the mid 1700's to around the early 1870's.. Thanks for all the kind replies and I've been looking but haven't found an exact match for the coin. HH Jeff

Re: Virginia Button(Wartime Mfd.), Jews Harp & A ROMAN Coin found in VA??!? VIDEOS

Its something I've always done since I started tournament fishing. It's an appreciation thing...

LOL that's funny Sentinel! Finally found someone who knows what they are doing. Here in Ontario it is customary to ALWAYS kiss the first Bass of the season. It is an appreciation thing. And brings luck. Proven fact.

Good digs too.

Josh bud, you and Jeff are tearing it up like true pros! You guys make a great team! It is cool to see you fellas enjoying other pastimes other than detecting. I bet the conversations on that boat were all about finding Virginia loot in the sloppy fields of today!
