Dantheman and I are still swinging the coils here it here in Michigan . Get this - Dec. 24th - we have 12" of snow, Dec. 27th - we're out swinging the coils!! A warm spell and heavy wind got rid of the snow. Plus, the extra moisture made digging like scooping ice cream!
So we got a couple quick hunts in - A heart-stopping find for me: Large Silver! 1918 walking half! Then I dig what I thought was a real gun - given how heavy the thing is - but heck, it's a cap gun - who the heck is "Gene Autry"? And finally, I dug an eagle button at the same place that dantheman dug a civil war era spur a couple months back. Can anyone tell me about that button? It looks different than other eagles I've dug - the wings are shorter and the talons are much thicker? Plus - there is no maker mark that I can see. Oh yeah, and a dateless Buffalo - do these things ever have dates??
Well, hope all is well with everyone. Happy new year!
