Good times hunting with Kevin(kpmoose) and Dave at the 1775 farm that Kevin invited us to. I was very excited for Kevin as he found his first silver and a nice one at that (1875 CC Seated Dime).
Kevin and I work together so he was familiar with the types of finds that Dave and I have made. I think it sparked his interest and that's when he asked me for advice on getting into the hobby. I had taken him to a few hunts and threw him into the fire from day one by taking him to some iron littered cellar holes:lol: I guess that did not deter him as he is now inviting us to sites that he has secured permission to hunt.

It seems that Dave did not mention the story behind the Nova Constellatio coin he found. It's very weird but sometimes while we are driving to a hunt site I will randomly get a feeling prior to the hunt on whether it will be good or not. For some reason I said to Dave that we are going to find a Nova Constellatio coin today and wouldn't you know...:cool:

So here are my finds for the day. Oh, by the way, for those mentioning that I never post the trash welp...here ya go

You forgot to mention our first hunt together was a quick hunt after work & you found a GW button. That might have hooked me right there. ;)

Congrats on your military button:clapping:- I forgot what you said it was called, other than I remember you mentioned New York.

Nice hunting Todd. Such a variety, from a Rosie to an early 1800's button.
Here's my prediction - - - you will catch HMN in the GW buttons.

Would have been my 1st Nova but I guess in due time Dan.

Here's my prediction - - - you will catch HMN in the GW buttons. That will only happen if we stop hunting together AL :poke:


Congrats Todd! that button or any NY button still eludes me... It was my first Excelsior button Chief. I had only found a excelsior belt plate prior to this button. They are ellusive
