Dec. 16 few buttons, and a gold plated ring

[Deleted]

Got to be thankful for any digs this time of year, and it has been some time since I was out last.

Did put in a long day, and this pic, is when we finally called it quits for the day.



I had a bit of a nitro moment when I saw this in one of my plugs as I just don't find them at the places I like to hunt.



Ended up with an ox knob, a half dozen buttons, plated ring, and one LG cent.

The drilled shank button is old, and the Nova Scotia Militia is a decent find, again just glad to be able to get out considering it is almost christmas.





I did have another cool pic. but is not loaded up anywhere else just now...maybe I'll fix that.

Now that is making use of a good day, don't use your watch, use the sun and moon ;-) Love it when you can associate a military button to a specific unit, great finds Rick. You said that the drilled shank button is old, how old do you think it is?

Late 16 early 17 hundred. It's only about the third one I've found. I got one last month included in my post with the 1650 french laird coin, same exact button actually.

A good day out Rick, actually any day out in December should be considered good. I found one plated ring this year that had me fooled until I got home and looked at it under better light.. felt nice to find anyway.

Nice hunts and a ring is a ring , i was also out for almost 2h yesterday until my fingers said no more. Hard to call it quit for the season , weather is so strange this years , if i would have not work out of town i could have done another 12 1h dig here and there , because most of the week end have been crappy lately.
