Rainy day won't stop me from huntin. Button, wheaties, & earring??
My brother and I hunted his front yard today. He owns a house built in the 1850s. Last year he had his front yard graded down approx. 6" to 10", revealing older clay soil. We went out today in the hard rain, pimping some trash bag ponchos (CLASSY!).
Found a Kendrick & Co. Button (circa 1840s?). On the back it says "Kendrick & Co, EXTRA." From the looks of it, it looks like a plain-jane civilian button. The button raises up a bit from the edges, then recesses down, then bubbles back up in the center. Anyone have any info on it?
Found a few wheaties (the most I've found in one session of hunting so far woohoo).
I also found what looks like a clip-on earring? Can anyone vouche for this? It's about the size of a quarter and looks quite old.
I was a bit disappointed that I didn't find any silver or old copper. But hey, there's always next time, right? Thanks for the help guys. Cheers all & HH
