Went to the college to hunt today. There was a civil war camp(Camp Utley) right next to the college. The college was started in the 1850's. I was nearing the end of my first pass and I hit a low tone,but it sounded good,so I dug it. Out popped this baby!
Man I was happy! I even called my buddy Dave to tell him! If I quit hunting right then I would have considered it a great hunt. But I'm no quitter! I turned around and headed back the other way. I found these on that trip through. At the end of that pass I had a good hit and I was thinking large cent,but I got this instead.Hunted for a while with some junk and clad,then I found this.Found a few pieces of junk jewelry and odd ball stuff. I was about forty feet from the first button find when I hit number two! In even better shape than the first one!I even snagged a piece of silver!Hunted for a while longer and found the heart pendant with the chain(rusted)wrapped around it.Here's the rest.It was a great hunt!
If anyone has any info on the button's please let me know.I know the Wisconsin one's are 1880-1920,I thought for sure they were civil war. Need info on the round one's too.
Hope everyone found something good today!
