what a day

[cheffer]

Didn't expect much today, especially since I've hit this place hard over the years. But holy cow, found a sweet area deep in the brush that just kept giving up coins. And what a variety. Had to do quite a bit of bushwacking and checking for ticks, as you can see it was definitely worth it. Was still getting signals as the sun went down, so I'll have to get back there tomorrow. Don't ever believe an area is hunted out!

​

two Barber dimes, pretty close to one another. 1899...​

​

...and 1910​

​

really nice condition 2-center​

​

four IH's in all: 1864, 1888, 1907 and 1908​

​

what a joy to find Seated...1857 quarter​

​

been a while since I've found big silver..1945 Walker...​

​

and a couple interesting buttons...​

Hope I can post more after tomorrow.
HH,
Steve

Nice finds. There is a somewhat similar Texas button listed in Albert's. It is backstamped either "Scovill Mfg. Co...." , "Am Button Co....." or "Goodwins Pat. July 27 1875". Could your's be one of these?

Super finds!!With winter coming on that area should clear up some and the ticks won't be a problem.I'm sure there is a lot more there to find.

Thanks everyone...went back for an hour yesterday and got skunked! There's still stuff in there, I feel it.

johnnyi, no backmarks on those buttons that I can see. Shanks are square on both, does that give any clues to age?
