"Off" Season Gets Better - 2nd CW Infantry Officer's Button
Pop used to say, shooting pool or playing cards, "Along towards morning, the Farmer got lucky...".
Lotta drama leading up to my Oct. 1 retirement cut into MD'ing time this year. It's 60° today, and I had to get out for a hunt.
This house (have to re-check the vintage, pre-1900) yielded some interesting junk last year and all-modern money, a quarter being the biggest. I've been over this lawn 3 or 4 times, but different sweep angles get different results. Last year I didn't have the D2, either. Tried 15 KHz Mixed Mode, but I quickly went back to Correlate.
Today I got more small junk, pulltabs, Zincolns and a modern nickel, and a piece of fence wire. I also checked the vacant old house next door--same as last year--and it's still bottle cap City. I was winding down when this last coppery one-bar hit was dug. I thought it was 20th-century Army at first. I left a msg. for the Museum Lady to see if a CW Vet lived at this house on Atlantic. The "SCOVILL MF'G CO. WATERBURY" date range is 1850-1865.
I think the owners are gonna like this..
