Guys I did it had to dig up tons of iron, but I did it. My 1820 permission came through. The ground is hard soil and full of iron, but it rained for 3 hours last night, so I thought I’ll stay up the rest of the night and get out there for 6am. Well I was right the ground was like butter and I continued to pull old nail after nail. Basically cleaning up the area each hole had at least 2 or more iron pieces in them. I got another flat button and then 2 more hours of iron and then BAM...Silver in the hole!!!!! My oldest American silver 1837 Capped Bust Half Dime. It was in a hole I already pulled 4 small pieces of iron out of. Not sure I can give the 800 credit or not, probably not, I think it was just good ol persistence and dumb luck. I’m still very curious about the button it has stars on the back and I can see the first 3 letters L O N ? ? ? N with 5 stars on top. Any help would be appreciated. God blessed me and God Bless America!! [emoji631][emoji631][emoji631] IMG_0012.JPGIMG_0012.JPGIMG_0012.JPGIMG_0012.JPGIMG_0012.JPG
