Colonial Era Wax Seal Stamp and some other goodies...

[Neil in West Jersey]

I got out to a few spots over the weekend. One of my old hunted out spots was not a total loss, finding a 1957 Rosie. Then I returned to my colonial soccer field and dug a bunch of tombac buttons, a toasty "V" nickel and a colonial wax seal stamp.

These tombac buttons are very difficult to find even at shallow depths. They have low VDI numbers when buried and never give a strong signal. I have said it before and I will say it again that this is where the V3i excels over comparable models.

I also meant to post a photo of a copper pin that measured abound 1mm wide by 4 mm long but I can't find it. It gave a choppy reading at 11 inches, but was probably more like 7 inches. I am constantly amazed at the ability of the V3i to see these tiny targets at significant depths!

Man you are finding some good stuff.... Can we see the bottom of the stamp? Or maybe melt some wax and stamp it?

Unfortunately the stamp is missing. Based on the great condition of the wood insertion, I bet I left the stamp behind in the hole!

[size=large][/size] But still a very nice find.

Oh shoot..... Go and see if you can find it and glue that thing back together.
