Coins, Eagle Buttons, The List Goes On

[fuzymunky]

One day's worth of hunting. Wife barely raised an eyebrow with a "mmm, that's nice" comment.....I don't think she's a believer.... What's it going to take?

Tent rope tighteners, gold eagle, Great Seal, and U.S. Army 4-hole buttons, U.S. button and part of another one, Indian Head, 2x V Liberty nickels, large cent, 2x seated dimes (an 1841 ) a Trime, glass top to coffee percolator, pocket watch parts, cannon fuse lighter.

Not sure the caliber of the brass shell.

Nice finds! I really like the counter stamped Large Cent and the Three Cent has nice detail. The shell casing looks like a brass shot gun shell by the size of it.

 

[fuzymunky]

Thanks 462, I was wondering if it might be an old shotty.

Great day detecting for you!

I like the counter stamped large cent, they're fascinating to me

[BuckleBoy]

GREAT finds! What does the counterstamp on the LC say, and have you looked it up in Brunk yet?

I love tent rope tighteners! The two other guys I hunt with hate 'em. They'll leave them sitting on the ground next to their filled holes (which in and of itself is a no-no, regardless the target). I've finally convinced them to save them for me. The way I see it they're all part of history, and very few people get to hold/own items like this.

I've actually never heard of Brunk. I feel kind of stupid now, lol. I'll check it out and see what I can find.

The stamp says J.W. Covel

Nice finds. Love the Stamped LC!

I have the same problem with my old lady every time i find something she says "ohh thats cool.." then she says "well i dont mean to sound uninterested but you gotta look at it from a woman's point of view" so i walked into the kitchen and looked out the window... she asked what i was doing i told her "im looking at it from a woman's point of view.. for some reason now she doesnt ask what i find anymore

But the way i look at it you did a pretty damn good job love the coins you found

 

[Sooper Dave]

Wow! Those are some awesome finds! Love those Seateds and Counter Stamped LC. The Trime is such an Incredible coin! Way to go! That's an Amazing one day hunt!
I have an awesome wife who loves history! She will even post my really old stuff on her Facebook page but she's not a fan of the other random stuff sitting by the sink waiting to be cleaned either.
