todays finds

[Diggermarc]

Went out detecting at an old cabin in Person County N.C. this morning. This my second hunt at this spot.First hunt produced a 1829 LC and a 1872 shield nickel. This place is really overgrown with briers and vines and is really hard to hunt. Today I searched along the side of the trail leading up to the cabin.After about ten minutes I got a good signal at 6.5 inches and pulled out the powder flask it is stamped brass with images of a rabbit and pheasants on both sides,rechecked the hole and got another signal which turned out to be the block I . It is a 1 Piece with no backmark. I believe its made out of pewter as it doesnt have any corrosion on it. After that it was about thirty minutes before I got another signal which turned out to be the N.C. button. It is a 1 piece flat button, cuff or hat size with no back mark.It has NorthCarolina around the edge with 8 stars and the NC seal inside a circle in the middle. Sorry I dont have any pics,unfortunately I cant afford a camera right now ,been out of work for awhile ,but if any of you button experts could tell me more about the buttons, especially The NC button I would appreciate it I have not seen any piece buttons like it on the web sites I have checked. Last but not least if anybody in my area, north central piedmont would like to get together for some hunting drop me a line . HH everybody!

Hi
I have been out of work over a year now. I applied for a City job the other day along with 324 other applicants for 1 opening.
I have several of my finds on Ebay right now. I usually don't sell my lost history, gotta make it somehow though. I can't help you on any Id but it sounds like your on to some good hunting grounds.

Good Luck
Dave.

Its not like this one mine has North Carolina spelled out around the edge with the North Carolina state seal in the middle where the NC is on your button.

Hey guys, not trying to push anything on you all,
but go back to school and get student loans and
all the grants that are offered.
Basically that is how we are making it.
BTW sounds like you have a great site to detect.
