I haven't made a video in a year, this hunt was definitely video worthy!

Boy oh boy what a marathon hunt yesterday with George, we hit an awesome 1700s farm house property permission of his at 730 am and we both managed some great finds, I got my 1st identifiable KGII about 2 hrs into the hunt!, shortly after that the owner basically demanded we try his sisters 1700s home down the street, GAME ON!, we get there and the lady was super nice, even gave us plenty of cold drinks so we can keep hunting, we both made some great finds there as well, I got my 2nd KGII that I'm pretty sure is either 1743 or 1773, hard to make it out, got an Indian head, and my 1st large cent of 2016 to complete the trifecta, also got 3 dandy flat buttons, a merc, roosie and the coveted OD nickel along with the barrel spigot, and other cool relics you see here, we stopped hunting at 5pm, just about 9 hrs of digging!, man I'm shot today but we'll worth it! Thanks for looking and hh! 20160902_171958-1.jpg2016-09-03 08.43.29-1.jpg20160902_205450-1.jpg20160902_204712-1.jpg2016-09-03 08.41.52-1.jpg20160903_083413.jpg20160902_172233-1.jpg

thanks professor, we had a blast!

Great day you both had.Thanks for the video.
thanks bill, I haven't made a video since last august, being busy stinks! Lol

Congrats on 2 KGIIs!
thanks alot, I would have been happy with just 1, 2 was awesome!
 

Congrats on a great day-that is an excellent keg tap. KGIIs were only made through 1760 so yours must be a 1743.

Thanks man, I'm terrible with knowing the dates of things, i appreciate your knowledge!
 

Dude you and George killed it today. 2 producing permissions in one day. Awesome. Now that's a great day hunting, I don't care who you are. :notworthy:

Hi; What has my attention is the button in the first picture at the bottom Right hand side with the Wreath & Stars on it. I believe I've seen that button before. I'm trying to track it down now. I think that button is a LOT Rarer than you think it is. PLEASE DO NOT CLEAN IT !!! It will be only a short time and I will nail it ok. You need Iron Patch & CRUSADER to wade in on this one ok. PM them ok. Can you Post a picture of it side by side showing the Front & Back please. Thanks. I await. PEACE:RONB :leprechaun-hat:

I wasn't sure which one you were talking about, so I put a picture of the two together the other separate picture of the dirty one is the one my buddy found today that looks like a match

Hi; The first one I actually just saw a picture of and I believe it is a George Washington Inaugural Button. I'll double check. The button wih the hole, ( The Wreath Button) I believe is along the same ilk. As I said it will only take me a SHORT time to nail them ok. Sweet Finds. PEACE:RONB

It is bed time now so I will reply more tomorrow ok. Thanks.
 

Wow! Great day for sure and congrats on your first! I bet there's plenty more out there to be found. Best of luck next time and HH!
