I was bored Sunday & didn't have any where to go. We only hunt old spots. I thought about this park with a old cemetery
in it, I always figured the house site was close by but had never checked it out. I couldn't get hold of Jim Weaver, so I called
my other partner Jim Armstrong. Jim didn't seem to excited about the park + we have been hunting so much lately that we
are afraid our wives might leave us. Jim ends up meeting me there. I got there first & hadn't been hunting but about ten minutes when I got a nice hit at about 6", out comes a old set of old silver cuff links with initials. Jim shows up with this glum
look on his face like what are we doing here. About 10 minutes later I dig up a 1874 Indian head, hum, not bad. We were
digging flat buttons so I knew the potential was there. Next thing I know Armstrong is coming at me thru the woods with
this #$%@ eating grin on his face and his arms wide open telling me he is going to kiss me for asking him to go to this
old park, after he kissed me on the head I knew he had found something special. We are not the kissing type. He holds out
his hand with a Spanish Cob in it. All & All Jim found 4 flat buttons + the cob, I found the set of cuff links + one, 6 flat
buttons, the 1874 IH (not shown) its soaking + some other neat old stuff. This is the best hobby in the world. Good Luck.

That cob is a great find but the colonial era cufflinks are just as good...maybe even better due to the personal nature.
 

Cob you can buy tomorrow for $20. Not so easy finding that cufflink. Both make for a great day!
