Hey guys,
Gheenoe78 and I got out on the water early and hit a shoreline site that bordered an 18th century plantation. This site was definitely a mix of highs and lows...the lows being the knee deep mud Gheenoe78 sunk into, nearly losing a boot, while the highs were the outstanding range of relics we recovered spanning over 250 years.
Defying the swarms of biting gnats and mosquitoes, I manage to recover some outstanding buttons: domed 35mm copper scripted button (unknown origins), late 1700's 30mm heavy pewter dandy, 2 acorn pewter 1 piece buttons (looking for more info on these), tomac button, 25mm fancy copper button, 2 brass small flat buttons and a small copper ring. The surprises of the day were a an intact PN Southern Campaign Rev War button and 1902 Great Seal button. Among the coins recovered was a 17X7 George III half penny and a 1903 Barber Dime! (The 1772 GIII picture is just for reference). An unmarked brass padlock also survived the salt water after a few hundred years, in full working order. Another great hunt...and wait till Gheenoe posts his intact 1770 Artois buckle! Thanks for looking
