Hey all, It's been awhile since I last posted.
But I have to show off my largest and oldest spill. It is more exciting to find them in my own yard. Woot Woot..
8 IHP and a Shield nickel....
My property had an old school house on it from 1850 till at least 1900.
I may have dug my oldest Eagle Button to date.
The backmark reads "(dot) SCOVILL MFG CO (dot) WATERBURY".
The shield is level with the eagle, not raised.
Period of manufacture?
