Colonial buckle, buttons and silver dissapointment

[toasted]

Went back to the colonial farm field to try and pickup some leftovers. Only some bits and pieces so I did some more exploring and found a somewhat productive new section of the field that had a small bit of brick scattered about. Got all the buttons and the complete knee/shoe buckle frame there. Unfortunately not a lot of iron signals so not sure what went on there. A 52 GW mixed in with colonial is just not fair

Oh man, that really isn't fair! I bet Scrappy threw that quarter in there just to screw with you.

Cool finds though, looks to be a good spot.

I'm starting to drool looking at those finds.
Forgive me,but haven't hunted since November.

The field has produced 10 colonial coppers, several complete early buckles, monogrammed silver cuff and 1600s cob but this was the first modern silver. Looked like a 2 reales at first glance

Love them old buttons. I can understand not being overly thrilled with the 52 GW. I actually don't care for any of the "modern" coins with presidents on them. Of course silver has value so I hoard them but, prefer the older coins with Indians, and other non presidential characters on them. Anyhow, wonderful hunt with them old relics. Peace.

Toasted, congrats on a great hunt! I know exactly what your feeling with the "out of place " GW...that happened to me recently, hunting some very old, early 1800 foundations and popped a small silver...and I thought I'd never be disappointed with a Merc, but I was instantly thinking Seated or Capped and was surprised/confused with the Merc, tho it was 1917. Great stuff...Ddf

Yes thats usually how it goes but I love those even rarer hunts when something a lot older pops out amongst the clad and modern silver

I know the feeling, grunts, midtones, canslaw, then screaming sweet solid silver sound......... is it, is it, ohhhhh it's modern. At least it's silver. Nice finds

Ive dug hundreds of targets in that field and 95% are over 240 years old but 80% of that was melted lead

Congrats on the finds! Not sure where that GW came from since you have found other old coins there.
Oh well, you do have some nice finds so it was a good day after all.

Not old silver but, still silver. At least it wasn't clad. Lol
The kid and I were doing a field hunt finding some old coppers and a seated dime. Got me a killer 87-88 hit thinking seated quarter....silver Washington.
