Well with the big storm coming in from the mid west tomorrow, I thought I would try and get some much needed swing time in. I'm glad I did. ;D The weather here has been really uncooperative when it comes to digging this past month. I decided to go and hit a site that I have pounded to death. I have been to the site 4 times now and thought that I wouldn't find a thing, well I was wrong. I swung for an hour or so and had only found a brass ring and an old pocket knife. I thought about giving up but told myself to hang in there. A bit later I dug the LC... glad I kept swinging. I carried on and dug a hinge and a spoon handle piece. Then came the button, I've been waiting for a while on this find, I don't run across these very often. Unfortunately the farmers discs ran right across the front of this one, bummer. Seems like all of these I find get run over by something. Oh well, maybe next time. I kept hunting for a little while longer till the rain came in an ran me off.
Sure enjoyed the hunt though. :thumbsup:

Hill

Looks like we are in for another day of rain today, then snow tonight.
Back to no digging for me until the next warm up.

Nice digs Hillbilly :headbang: I take it your ground isn't frozen down there ???

No, we had 2 days above 40 and the ground has thawed.
Hopefully it stays that way :thumbsup:

Pounded to death and still gives up a great large cent and eagle . Kool when that happens ,even in bad weather 8) 8) Congrats Hill :icon_thumleft: dawg
 

Those are great finds, I especially like to see Waterbury Scovill buttons.
I was born in Waterbury and now live in Wolcott Connecticut only a couple
of miles from where that button was made. Almost everyone on my fathers
side of the family worked at Scovills until it closed down. The once mighty
brass mill is now a shopping mall.
