That's some old dirt my man. Those blowhole buttons are a great indicator of age. Dig every little iffy blip at that spot. Great all around hunt buddy
 

That little button has a birdcage shank. Lets get a good pick of the front and back. It could be something Awesome?
 

Well done Treb. Glad to see that you got out for a bit of hunting. GL!
 

Good job brad, love the blowhole button, man that dirt wasn't so kind to the walker huh?
 

Nice digs Treb. :thumbsup: Being a coin shooter I love that walker.
 

Thanks guys, I'm headed out the door, going to my meeting.All the buttons are in distilled water I'll pull everything out and get some better pix up later.
 

Great job Brad. I am always happy if I can get an old button with a shank still attached! Hope you get some more on your next trip.

Its not too bad, looks like it might of got rolled by the plow, lol
I haven't zapped it yet.

My 14th half of the year, sweet, sounded awful. Thanks buddy, the field hunting has been good for me this fall.

Me too Dave, I was riding out of the woods when I asked the kid that was with me if he had hit around the cellar hole. I pointed to it and sent him to it as I went the other way looking for more cellar holes. He said no, he didn't think it was a cellar hole. So I jumped out and found the blowhole button. Guess where I'll be tomorrow?

Nice Walker half too.
Thanks, my favorite coin design.

Well done Treb. Glad to see that you got out for a bit of hunting. GL!
I went striped bass fishing Sat. Felt good to have my XP Deus in my hand, been tough getting out. I'm having trouble with my left knee, Rothman Intitute Mon, see what they say. Darn thing hurts like a "beep" now I got that kid watching you tube videos on metal detecting! Better than drugs and alcohol!

I zapped her last night! Look at the edge, almost looks like someone started to hammering her to make a ring?

Great old blow hole button you have there. Perhaps there's more? I dig the damage on that walker - clean coins get boring!
 

Only one coin and it was a Walker? Crazy. Congratz on a great hunt!
 

Awesome chunk of silver and the mid 18th century blow hole is a great early find! Wonder why they are only common in the NJ/east PA area?

Great question Isaac. I've never dug one down here that I can remember, and I think I've only seen one or two recovered in southeast VA. Must have come from some vacationing northerners :laughing7:.
 

We went back to the cellar hole today, I found one flat button and two ox shoes.
