Yesterday's finds

I had a nice quick hunt in the woods yesterday. I found a New York coat button, eagle coat button, an Enfield bullet, a three cent silver and a knapsack rivet all in about an hour. And no ticks or chiggers!

Excellent finds man - that 3 cent is a major find ![/QUOTEThanks, Argentium. It's the fourth one I've found. But the first I've found on a battlefield.

Kinda figured that... Here in Stafford.. those General service Eagles and NY Militia's pop up like they are going outta style.. good luck in the next hunt - hope you score a state button!

Thanks, hutsitedigger. I'm hunting near Richmond and while I can't say they pop up as frequently as I'd like, it's not the first time I've dug New York and eagle buttons side by side.

Argentium, for some reason my reply to you was included in the place where I quoted you. Anyway, it's my fourth 3 cent piece and I'm shocked every time I see one. They are very small. The one I dug yesterday has no date unfortunately. Looks like it was rubbed for luck quite a bit. Thanks.
