    Mass Volunteer Militia Button Info?

    No, I don't have an Albert's book yet, but hope to rectify that soon. A friend found the following button at one of our usual hunting spots, but because he doen't have internet access, I told him I would research age, type, etc. It is a little smaller than a dime, tin or pewter, and one-piece...

    Weekend finds...

    Detected one of my usual spots this weekend that has produced a lot of Coppers and came up with two more Large Cents... 1850 + 1851. I have yet to find Silver there, but I am hoping that persistance pays off at some point. [attachment 66647 1850Front.jpg] [attachment 66648 1851Front.jpg]...

    Todays finds- Thought it was about time to post here.... :fisher:

    Hello everyone! I usually post over on the Beach & Water Forums, but since I only hunt the beaches in the Winter and spend the rest of my time detecting Cellar Holes and Fields, I decided it was about time to drop in and join the community. I have been hunting exclusively with the 1236-X2 for...

    Sutlers Token? ID Help needed.

    Found my third ring ever while on vacation last week... an oldie marked Sterling & 10K with the initials RJG. It is heafty, and the majority of the ring is silver with gold on top where the initials are engraved. It was obviously resized at one time because it is broken. My third ring in three...

    Salisbury update...

    Headed out for todays low tide to check things out. It was damn cold... especially with the wind. I was disappointed that I was the only one out there. I only hunted for about 1 1/2 hours but managed a fist full of clad and an ugly turquoise silver ring. Almost threw it back it is so ugly! Some...

    B.H., Metaldig, Bob or ED... need advice...

    I found what I thought was a copper colonial coin this W/E at an old foundation site down towards Cape Cod, but a little soaking reveals that it is actually silver. It appears to have had some sort of reaction to the sandy soil where I found it... similar to the silver coins we find up in...

    Salisbury Update....

    Headed up to Salisbury today hoping the hunting would be better after the storm last night... no such luck! Everything is sanded in much worse than it was last week. That and it is very very cold out there! Hopefully the second half of January will be better than the first. HH James

Back of the button reads "Scovill MFG CO. Waterbury" on the back. Button is about an inch across. I can try posting a photo of...
