Went out for a full day yesterday, hitting several different sites. While detecting the road leading to the first cellar hole, I got a screaming 33 on the equinox. About an inch down, was the beautiful sight of silver...early canadian silver at that! First year quarter: 1870. From there, it was off to another hole to do some bottle digging. Managed to probe out the privy for a future dig, and got a nice little med bottle. Finally, on my way home, I had the urge to stop at "the button shoreline". This place produced several Rev war buttons, including RFAs, RPs, Navy's and yet another 1st American Queens Rangers button. Very glad to have it!!!

Nice button love the Candian quarter I have a 1896 my 2nd oldest coin I've found that cellar hole looks promising all kinds of stuff could be in there be careful of all the broken glass it's like diggin in a pile of razor blades lol. Good luck on finding some cool stuff. Stay safe out there also. Tommy

Nice Button!
 

Really excellent finds Relic! That quarter still has some nice details.

Technically four [emoji6] but I understand how among this group you don’t count if your head isn’t on a coin (except in a couple island countries)!
