Short hunt gets me a nice Civil War C button and a Barber dime

[Oldrvrrat57]

Only walked about an hour or so today due to the wind blowing 35 mph+ but I was able to get a CW calvary button and 1908D Barber dime and a small gold plated bead . This was the second Calvary button from this site.

Nice find

You have the best place in IL to detect. You consistently find the oldest artifacts from any IL members.👍🏻 The junction of two major rivers is the key to your success. I have to say I’m a bit envious!

I didn't know that button even existed. Congrats!

Well done on the button & dime recoveries, given only a hour or so of hunting.
Don't see too many beads posted up, cool catch.

Thank you so much , I do realize this area is rich in history and known to be one of the richest archeological areas in Illinois.

Nice job on getting out in those conditions!

Any idea why the cav button was there?

Nice Cav button, and i see a lot of gold gilt behind the patina, a short bath in some lemon juice make her look real nice
