Haven't been out for any long hunts this month. An hour of two here or there. I revisited a site after a year and managed a few more buckles and a 1964 rosey. Then one night after work stopped at honey hole for about 45 mi and got what I think is a brass moto meter radiator cap and a navy button. Navy button is definitely pre ww2. Back mark is "Waterbury button co Waterbury Connecticut ". I'm thinking ww1 era
Era? Sadly butterfly earring is junk.
Had a weekend it was in the 70s so I went into a creek. Water was cold air was not. Lasted about 2.5 hours before my feet got too cold. Spent half hunt on wrong side of water digging fishing weights. Crossed water and got on a flat button, smashed 2 piece button, a girl scout pin and the skeleton key. Still has some iron crust on it from iron blob it was sitting next too.
Finally got a holder for the 1838 seated half dime and noticed it's not coin true. Sides aren't 180 degrees out of phase. As seen on photo. Think this is what is called a rotated die error. Pretty neat.
