last weekends buttons

[Brandy{Ma.}]

Well looks like last weekend was the last hunt for the year.We had a good snow last week.I stuck a ruler outside of the shop when it stater,it was gone by noon.We then up to N.H.[20 min.away]to hunt a new site Mike found 1/2 mile in the woods along the river last Sunday.It was a good site and the old stuff was popping out from everywhere.Hope we don't have to wait till spring for the snow to melt down.Here the buttons.Glad to find that broken up one,I need the loop for a nice big pewter one I got in the summer.I have micro metal cutting tools that makes it pretty ez to switch loops.The gold one I got on the way out.Still a lot of gold on it.Enjoy.

Oddly I find myself being drawn to buttons a lot more than coins now....especially of the military variety

good finds!

I was a coin shoter for a few years but most of the copper comes out of this new england ground in pertty bad shape.I got four or five coppers from the site.Nothing you want to look it,I could only get a date off one[1798]but that was all you could make out.And it's about 100 to 1 finding a piece of silver.Hope to get back there soon to see if that 100 to 1 silver is there.I still get a rush when I popout a old copper,but it gos away as soon as I see there nothing left to the old coin.Buttons clean up nice and there made by hand by someone sum 300 years ago.
