Indian, buffalo, silver, NICE 1800s Marine button

4/28/2014

Yesterday badJim and I went door knocking, first stop was a 1913 school, people live in it now but unfortunately they have horse behind the school and covered most of the old playground area. Did manage to make some finds around the side and front. nabbed 4 wheats, a nice 1915 buffalo nickel and my favorite find was a 1800's Marine button ID'd by Paul Flicker for me on facebook, I included a picture he posted from hisAlbert's  button ID book. 

Second stop was an old farm house, the owner said it was detected pretty hard by his buddies but allowed us to search the front yard. Managed a few wheats, and the 1897 indian, looks like it has a cud mark by the date. Picked up some clad and couple junk rings, and the old tire gauge. 

Third stop was an abandoned farm house the owner lived next door and he gave us permission, I got the silver rosie, few wheats, some clad, and the CW heart heel plate, looks like they wore it till it fell off...lol

Fun day, and always nice when everyone we talk too says "YES"!

I hunted friday nite, all day saturday and a lot on sunday. You would think with all these stupid wheats, more silver would have shown up but I guess it wasn't meant to be. Hunted a couple field sites, sure didn't give up much, got the decorative pendant looking thingee, and yet another CW store card that I cannot read. Found my first ever clay pipe stem in the field as well. In yards I got all the wheats......SIGH.......a nice 1904 injun, rosie, and silver washington. A cool bank token, aluminum sunoco token, man are these common to find! Not sure what the 4 leaf clover looking thing is? Oh yeah also go a 1928 canadian penny that is way better than the ever so abundant wheat cents that seem to litter every old yard I go too lol. Great weather and fun times with friends, even with not much silver to show for it.
