Found a few neat things today, and a first for me!

Got out for a bit today, been waiting for the snow to go away and for the ground to thaw a bit here in south central pa.

Went back to the farm that we have been working at for a little bit now. Big place with 4 colonial homesites on it, 2 still being lived in and 2 lost to the past. So far we have dug around 13 coppers of various varieties, American and brittish, and the silver trime I found today. 3 of the sites had been detected before, very thoroughly I mite add. And one that I believe was never found until we found it.

That is where the coins came from today, plus my buddy found 2 coppers there today also. The silver pocket watch frame and buttons came from a different field. 1817 large cent in very good condition, a 1828 half cent thats not too awefull, and my favorite for the day, a 1852 trime, always thought it wud be cool to find a trime, but it seems they very rarely come out of the ground. I'm really liking the deus 2, seems to not miss much.

Nice finds! That is a classic bunch of finds

Good job. You know it’s a good day when an intact eagle button doesn’t make the list of “best finds of the day”.

You are right, I forgot to mention the eagle button. These are one of my favorite things to find. This particular field has given up probably a half dozen eagle buttons, and probably that many dropped 3 ringers and a Gardner bullet. I found a flying eagle cent in the middle of where I found the buttons, I like to think it was dropped at the same time, but who knows. I believe I read that there was a camp there for a few days.
