It wasn't from lack of trying...Dug my heart out
Well had a game plan for yesterday, as I was flying solo and had a dollar bet with IP that I could beat out his last Rev War button...Nothing like friendly competition to get fired up.
I get to a new site which the farmer give me 4 hours to hunt and dig my first hole and thought I dug a gold (rectangle) brooch, but it ended up being plated, follow up by a dozen buttons and musket balls so I decided to go try another trusted old site. This time I pull what I thought was a gold button but also ended up being plated, what are the chances when you dig 2 gold brooches earlier in the season...It has some age to it but not as old as I wanted it to be... I have dug dozens and dozens of crotal bells but this is my first size 0 bell. I then get this low tone around where some nice buttons came out and popped out this bale seal and from the other side it looked at first glance to be a full RP button...Other finds include an 1896 LC and Crusty Geo II and a busted up pocket watch and heart shape something or other....I included my 1843 one penny token from last week, I found 3 of them this year and this would be the best shaped one I've gotten in all my years...Looks like the wave has ended and by the looks of the weather so is the season...
Yes IP I owe you a dollar $
