War of 1812 Massachusetts Button!!!

Recovering Relics

What's up everyone? Hope everyone's having a nice weekend.

Couple of weeks ago I went detecting at my neighbor's house that was built in 1695. I decided to stay in a trashy area, take it slow, and try to find some old coins or relics inbetween all the trash. That plan worked out great. I dug an old token, toy car, pocket knife, and then as I was about to leave, I got a nice signal at about 6-7 inches deep. I had to dig down under a root. When I finally got it out of the hole, I knew I had something good! Turns out I found an Ancient & Honorable Artillery button from Massachusetts dating to around 1810. It's considered to be a War of 1812 button, making this around 200 years old!!! I don't know of the value or the rarity, but it sure is old!

I made a video of the button being recovered and it can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sm-UBR8npg

Alright, thanks for looking everyone! Good luck & HH!

You have a great spot to hunt. The mxt seems to do a great job.
