So I went back to the field I got 5 coppers last week. Did the same patch just changed grid from east west to north south. 40x60 area for 3 hours, low and slow. Got 17 more buttons and some great buckles.
I had a sneaking suspicion that although I was told "I wouldn't be the first", well sorry whoever came before me, you didn't find a thing as far as I can tell. Thanks.
Site was the original town hall for the founding of the town (I believe) which e plains the vast amount of buttons I dug (27 total) almost all from the same patch. Also 7 coppers (8 really, my buddy dug one today, also his oldest coin) and finally the real I knew had to be there. Unfortunately the 1/2 real was squished but I managed to recover almost all of it. Including the date, it would of been a super crisp coin if it was intact.
Also dug an 1802 draped bust and a shocking 1796 liberty cap large cent! Holy !!!
Happy hunting out there!
