This was the result of my very first hunt of the new year and I think its going to be a good one. I was hitting a trashy house site and one of the first few great things I found was the 1858 seated half dollar which is also the very first half dollar I have ever found. It was pretty deep at 8 to 10 inches underneath a large root of a massive pine tree. I found it with the AT PRO and using the small DD coil. I found other things including a colonial shoe buckle piece and also a 1700's Spanish patriotic button. A mercury dime and a old wheat penny made the day better. But what really made my day and possibly even my year, was the second half dollar I ever found on the other side of the yard just as it was turning dark and time for me to go home.

Yeap all good finds, & great start to the year - nice big seated!

But the '1700's Spanish patriotic button', I would like to understand, any source material? Coin buttons were very popular we had all sorts of Country's & Roman Coin Buttons were not a sign of a Roman Patriot.


Ya sure. Check out this site they have a lot of info. Patriotic & Commemorative Buttons
