Hey hey diggers !
My last couple of hunts didnt exactly fill up my finds pouch to the brim but I did find a few keepers.
Recently a few of us commented on how few Edward Vll coins show up on hunts...well he's been showing up for me. It's a slicky but a good find just the same...1903 25 cents.
Same field but different site got my button save...early royal artillery cuff button with three stacked cannons topped with three cannon balls on a shield....my little bit of button porn for this post.
Back to quarters again ! As I mentioned in the past, we dont find a lot of seated coins way up north here but they are always fun to find when we do. Hunting a new site ( to me) always perks up your expectations for some great finds, this gave me my second seated this year! That's a first for me, more than one in a calendar year. You may remember my other seated quarter from the spring ... it too was a 1858...what are the odds?
And lastly, a nitnoid of the "what is it" variety. It reminds me of a seal matrix in shape and style but could be a fancy pipe tamper? Its copper alloy and broken along the shaft, there might have been a suspension loop at the broken end.
Let me know what you all think of this one.
So until next time that's my two times by two bits.

Hey hey diggers! It's been a hectic spring with lots going on...but getting in some digging too! I got in a few hunts in the last week or so with some decent finds and had couple of firsts along with some old favourites. First up a watch winder with a glass jewel in it! I've seen them dug up in...
