Nate and I got out today also(Iceberg). A little chilly at first but sunny. Found 105 wheat pennies. Only one silver rosie and a sunoco token. Still fun.

Wow you guys are hardcore digging in the snow. We don't have any snow yet just cold 30-35 degrees. Its supposed to get mild tomorrow and most of next week mid 40's. Hoping to get out as much as possible. Oh by the way 105 wheaties wow! that has to be a record of some sort.

Cool...the date held up really well on that for one so worn. I have a well-worn 1875 in my collection as well.

I dug this stuff in a field in Yorktown Virginia a couple years ago.

Good God, 105 wheaties??? I'm thinking you found the site of a scout camp where they apparently got bored and had a penny fight.

And me thinks my wife bought me the Excal for Christmas, she keeps asking me questions about it....or is she getting it for herself?

I'll drink to the 105 wheaties and the 1875 dime. I don't think I've ever even seen that kind of dime anywhere in my life and even when I used to collect wheaties (way back in time like the 60's, in spare change), that would have been a good day for me. Keep it up, and I'll save my money up, buy some "spy" glasses and come and see where your detecting.:| Boy oh boy, what a day that must have been. I wonder if you dug them one at a time or were they coming in batches?

 

[beachguy777]

Nice stuff Mike. I'm surprised that you had the same date he had of such a rare coin. Excuse me while I go take some more "nerve" pills. You guys are awesome.:|

Great finds Mike. I love getting the older silver.

I was using my Sovereign Elite with the DTI meter and Sunray S-12 coil. I bought the machine mainly for the beach but it was quite a capable land hunter too. I got rid of it and got an Excalibur for the beach and fell back to my Fisher CZ-70 for land hunting for a while and then got the Quattro sometime after that.

Sounds like you ARE getting an Excal for Christmas...dead giveaway if MY wife were asking that.

Yes, seated coins are always nice!!!

Do you have any idea what time period the "US" button is from? I have about six different styles, and this is one of them, but I don't know how old it is.

I'm not sure...I was thinking WWII from the looks of it. Best place to post those is on the Relic forum...they always know. I think somebody told me it was WWII at the time I found it.

Post pics of your stuff like that here http://www.findmall.com/list.php?30 and title it "Button ID Help Needed" or something similar and you'll definitely get an answer.

of detecting in the snow! I don't know of anyone who does detect in snow here, so it's a real eyeopener to see the kind of conditions you will detect in. Good on you. Is that you or your son. Handsome fellow anyhow! Hi Butch, your seated lady is very nice also. I love those coins, and they're very similar in design to the seated lady (Britannia) coins we find here. I'd personally love to find a few more tokens. Hi Mike, love your relics. I've found a lot of those kind of buckles on the goldfields here. I guess in that area, we have similar relics as yours. Buckles and bottons have always been a favorite of mine. I just mounted on canvas a whole array of different buckles I've found, and they look great all together.
