Lodge Scent

I hadn't gotten out in a couple of weeks but I was up at dawn Saturday and decided to hit a couple of remote sites that I hadn't been to in a few years to see if I could sniff anything out of the iron patches. Was rewarded for my efforts with a copper and buttons from each site.

First site gave up a decent 1801 Draped Bust.

The second site produced what I think is a KGII halfpenny that was turned into a button.

I didn’t think I would be digging much as these were pounded sites so I left my finds belt at home. I was a bit miffed at myself after finding this hole in my pocket. All the buttons had gone in that pocket. Likely lost 1 or 2.

Several buttons had interesting back marks. This button has no back mark but had an attached rim and it has an eagle motif stamped into it.

Spotted a nice garter snake.
