It's been a great couple of months! 1 Real, 3-Cent Pieces, Buttons, Relics
I'm not even sure where to begin... it's been a while since I posted my finds. I have been too busy with work and detecting, but mostly I kinda wanted to wait till I got a digital camera. Using my outdated cellphone camera with a plastic magnifying 'glass' just wasn't cutting it... now I got super-macro 14 megapixel goodness at my disposal!
The Real is a 1 Real, 1773 Guatemala mint, "P" Assayer mark. It was shallow and my E-trac screamed with pleasure when my coil passed over it. I did not scratch it. The person who lost it must have. My oldest silver yet.
The 3-Cent Pieces are 1851, 1852 (no mint marks).
The large copper is unknown.
The small copper is probably an IH. 
The buttons - most of my buttons have come from these woods. I enjoy finding and collecting them. Especially these oldies! I just wish they were in better shape... Note the eagle button. The pictures don't really bring out what gilt is left. It's a shame it's in such bad shape.
The video is of my hunt today recorded using my new Veho Muvi. It's so handy for stuff like this! 8)
Enjoy!
