Yesterday's Digs - handfull of buttons & a crotal bell

Debated whether to even post these meager finds, but since I don't expect to be out again for a while....what the heck! Got out yesterday to a field that I had hit about 5 times previously. The earlier trips have yielded 8 coppers, a 1784 half real, 3 oval cufflinks, about a dozen assorted buttons, and some other assorted relics dating from the 1790s to the 1860s. I still think there is an early US silver or another Spanish silver hiding in this field, but any future searches will have to wait since they just planted it with beans.

Yesterday's hunt yielded a crotal bell, a musketball, a keg spigot cover (the item with the double slotted keyhole in the top), and seven buttons, one of which is a nice 1830s one piece flower button that will display well in the case.

Not a big day for you Steve but 99% of the diggers on Tnet would be tickled to death with your finds AND especially for this time of year. Like the flower button. WTG Bud, Q.

Pish posh... those are good finds! I'd be very satisfied with an outing that yielded those relics.

Looks like your season's about over too Steve. But you did good at a site you've already hit hard. Guess you'll have to wait on your silver until the fall.

Hopefully I will have some silver success in the fall Bill. Last year I dug 9 Spanish plus an 1803 dime and an 1830 half dime. With the exception of two half reals, all those coins were dug from September through the end of the year.
