Well Maybe, but before I go there, have I ever told you guys how
important a Digging Buddy Is ?? I'm here to testify, you can COUNT
on your digging buddy, when No one else is there for you. When your
best old Hound dies, and you feel like sinking in quicksand, and just
giving up, you can tell your Hunting Buddy, and he'll understand !
When nothing you do, is quite right for the wife, or the kid gets a
nose ring, or one of the dogs eats a neighbor cat, or the alternator
goes out on your 73 Ford P.U., or your personal loan fell thru and
you're not gonna get that new Remington Speed Pump 12 Guage
after all . . . . . . . . . You can Tell Your Hunting Buddy, and he'll
even sympathize with you. Heck, you can even tell your Digging
Buddy, that even though he won't play Hooky from work, and go
with you, you're gonna make one more run at that site that produced
the Real Nice 1834 Bust Dime, and HE WILL JUST GIVE YOU HIS
BLESSINGS, and talk about how he's going with you this weekend,
come Hell or High Water. BUT, THE ONE THING YOU CAN NEVER,
NEVER, EVER DO, is call your Digging Pard up late that evening,
and tell him you just dug a CONFEDERATE BUTTON, at that coin
site. ABSOLUTELY NEVER !!
OK, now that we got that all clear. Today was real slow, but real
good for NW Arkansas. Dug a spoon bowl with a riveted handle, a
weird flat spoon, a pewter spoon handle, part of a table knife, 1-
approx. .54 caliber round ball, the usual dozens of square nails,
several pieces of worked flint, and LO AND BEHOLD.... out of a hole
with 2, count em -2- square nails, A BEAUTIFUL CONFEDERATE
LINED -I- INFANTRY BUTTON, with Superior Quality backmark,
and shank intact, though lose. I LOVE SMALL COILS !!
Steve
Got er' soaking now, and I really think it's going to clean up
beautifully. In 23 years, I have only dug 4 Confederate buttons
in Arkansas, 2 - tinback block -I-s, a North Carolina, and this
treasure today. I am indeed as excited as the last week when I
found the coin.
