4 Silvers, Nice University Pin

[steelheadwill]

Hi All,
Dug around the old seaside dump for an hour or two,
I'm starting to think that the coins come from street repair dumping rather than people swimming here,
They seem to be most concentrated in the asphalt rubble than in the sandy areas.
'57 Washington, 43 & 45 Jeffersons,
Two old buttons, solid brass hemispherical with drilled shank, and a handpunched pewter.
My favorite find was the silver U Of Maine pin, awesome condition,
thought it was a militia button at first, Maine has one of the nicest state seals, farmer and woodsman, pine tree, and the north star,
even motto still visible, 'Dirigo' latin for 'I Lead'
Very nice sash buckle, bunch of wheats, colonial pottery, buttons, and a nice pile of scrap
Thanks for looking! HH Everyone !! Herbie

Herbie, I knew you were still hunting when I received the recent PM from you. Like the pin and looking forward to seeing what treasures you recover this Fall & Winter. HH, Quindy.

Thanks Herbie. Buckleboy's very good article "Be Prepared" is also next to my article in that issue. I finally hit the trifecta on articles as American Digger Magazine and North South Trader's Civil War Magazine will both have my articles in their Nov.-Dec. issue. AD will feature my interview with veteran hunters Tennessee Digger and his wife Julia V. and NST will publish "Christmas with Gen. Morgan' that chronicles the Tennessee Trio hunt at one of his camps during the 2011 Christmas holidays. HH, Quindy.
