Went on a short hunt Friday afternoon to an 1800s homesite off the beaten path. I have hunted this property a couple times in the past finding a few flat buttons, 4 Civil War era Eagle buttons, but no coins.
Not sure if I hit an area I missed before, but the 'nox delivered the goods. Two 2pc Eagle buttons, 1pc Eagle button (shame it has a hole punched in it), what I believe is a tombac button, a small flat button, small fancy button, an 1866 IHC and some kind of swivel device (for pocket watch/pendant?) Really appreciating how the Equinox locks on to solid targets such as coins and buttons. This thing is a monster!
Anyone have some ideas on how old the 1pc Eagle button is? Backmark reads Scovill Mfg Co Waterbury. Would love to see an image of a non dug example.
Thanks for looking and happy hunting!
