Bumped into Louisiana's Finest

Hello All,


Was a crappy day last hunt. Speeding ticket on the way there. Then car trouble on the return trip.

So all in all a crappy day...but when we were out digging for 8 hours it was bliss.


The finds were thin. We are exploring a new area, hoping for a new site. Shanegalang got a killer French gun flint and I dug an 1820s Pewter "U.S." militia button on my last row of the day. So at least we got something for the Display Cases. We were hoping for Spanish #28 but it was not to be. I think it'll be tough to get to 30 this year, but still possible. We have almost 2 months left.



Here's Shanegalang's gun flint:



And my pewter "U.S." button (this is my 5th of these in two years):



And our combined finds. I actually dug a piece of a spur in a spot where he had dug more of it on a previous hunt:




Best Wishes,

Buck

BB, I can arrange to send Dman down as a character witness for you in traffic court. He can tell the judge a joke-LOL. Q.

As long as the judge doesn't want payment in Spanish Silver maybe you can still make your goal....

Hey Buck, some days are tougher then others but at least you weren't skunked. Perseverance always pays off.
Nice button and flint.
ZDD

Good to see a good finish to the day after bad start...now get out and find something more expensive then the ticket...great finds!

It's not about the $$ for me, and never has been, but it is frustrating when a day is as expensive as last hunt.

Please don't! The judge would probably give me 10 to 20 years!

Nice finds, thanks for sharing them.

You might be able to cobble together a full set of those!

Working on a full set of Artillery "eagle on cannon" buttons, and a full set of these. Got 4 of the former, 5 of the latter. Also working on a set of Civil War Pelicans. I dug 3 of those, and Diggergirl got her one from the same coat too.

French flint correct? Nice button. Amazing how similar they are to some of the war world I script. Another good vid am now just catching up on all the cool finds.

Yep. It's a French flint. I have 2 French and 2 English flints in my collection from Louisiana. Will be interesting to see which country wins the contest.
