Wow, Major Colonial & 1800s Finds Today
Today was a blur, so I can't recount all these in order, but I went with Earthworks and his brother Goingdown, to a Colonial homestead where we just got permission. This place had promise, but we had no idea what was in store for the next 7 hours...it started out pretty slowly, not much going on, then all of a sudden we started hitting amazing find after find after find...here are the highlights all pictured...War of 1812 U.S. 2nd Infantry Officer's button (any idea of value?)...beautiful 1837 seated dime...Conn. Copper (no date)...1802 Large Cent...holed half reale (no date)...two more colonial coins (little detail visible)...beautiful/large dandy button with gold gilt...beautiful decorative button with gold gilt...(not pictured -- several flat buttons and a few buckles of different sizes)....Thanks to Earthworks for working extra to clean and photo everything after a long day...Earthworks and I once found 8 large cents in one day, but I have to say with all the variety here, this was the best day ever. Wow is about all I can say about today.
