Short Field & House Hunt

[Bell-Two]

I was able to get out on Tuesday for a short hunt, it was cool and very cloudy but I am trying to get it as many field hunts before the planting starts. First I went back to the field that has given me a couple of Large Cents and some Indians including the excellent 1872 Indian. My first good find was another Indian Head this time an 1889 in reasonable shape. I then found a large button that turns out to be a Sporting button with a duck in flight on it.









I posted this on the Stealth Diggers FaceBook page and Mike Lichtenstein did this artistic enhancement.



Found some other buttons and buckles and stuff as well.



I then got a permission on a small abandoned house with an adjoining one room schoolhouse, I only had about half an hour left to hunt it, I got a 1939 Wheat and an interesting 1916 French 10 Centimes coin.





Definitely planning on going back when I can spend more time picking through all the iron and trash to see if more can be found.

Those are some nice finds, really like the Duck button, very unusual.

Those are some old buttons , I wonder when they invented the zipper it's a good thing they didn't back then otherwise there would not be so many buttons hard to loose a zipper. Anyone know when they came out with zippers . sube
