New ACE 250, New MDer and New Hunting Site

[Gestus]

Today I was able to take my first "real" trip out to do a little detecting. I only had roughly an hour but had a ton of fun.

To give a little background, I live in Maryland and received permission to hunt around the fields of a church with a sign that reads circa 1873. I was a little excited to get permission there.

During my hour out, I found several nails, a pull tab, something that looks like an old bottle cap (I have not cleaned it up yet) and a button. I am guessing that it is silver as it was shining in the dirt about 4 or 5 inches in the ground. It is rather small with a design and a letter T. Now i hate to admit to this but while i was cleaning the dirt out of the bottom the loop popped off, true noob mistake. I can not wait to get back out there!!

Nice Find Gestus. Welcome to T-Net, and I'm sure there are many more finds waiting to be found in those fields. I can't wait to see what else you find and post. HH.

It is silver, and dates to around the date on the sign on the church. My guess is that this was a sleeve link/cufflink.

Great find!

Pretty cool find! Neat site as well. I happened to drive by an old church today and noticed it was dated 1834 on the sign... I got to find out who to talk to there. Your find makes it that much more exciting.

Keep up the good work & HH
