Old park gives up V-nickel, silver, wheats, Waterbury button

[Goes4ever]

Today I went to an old park and hunted about 2.5 hours, I totally ignored the numbers on the screen and only hunted by sound, if it had some depth to it, and sounded smooth I dug it.
I got surprised several times. The V nickels bounced all over, I made a mental note of the numbers but did not let them persuade me to dig or not. It bounced all over from single digit numbers up into the 30's

The merc dime shocked me too, it even bounced around a bit, I thought it was going to be a wheat, good surprise to see the silver rim peeking out of the dirt.

All in all it was a good day, 7 wheats, (1 from yesterday) V nickel, Merc dime, about a buck in clad.........and the eagle button, no idea about this one? Says Waterbury button co. on the back.

Hey Goes4ever,

I was born in Waterbury Connecticut where the Waterbury Button Co. is still in operation since 1812.
I live one town over in Wolcott CT., Waterbury was once called the Brass Center Of The World and
companies like Waterbury Button Co. and Scovills Mfg. made buttons and all kinds of brass items for
200 years. I included a link to a badge I found made by Waterbury Button and a link to the companies
website.
