I got out for a few hours Friday at an 1800s house site that I have been working lately. I started off hot, digging a large cent sized token, a spoon bowl, and an 1837 Large Cent on my first three signals in my first pass across the site. Then I cooled off for a while digging just a large Benedict & Burnham flower button until my last pass when I dug the eagle on the cannon artillery button and another large flat button. At this point I decided to call it a day knowing there still be some targets left for my next visit. The token turned out to be a Canadian bank token known as the "Bouquet Sou" that was issued around 1837. The artillery button is an Alberts AY 52B (1808 to 1821) and the Benedict & Burnham flower button is circa 1834 to 1843, the only years this firm was in business.
