I was able to get out for a couple of hours on Tuesday after work. We hit an 1890s house and I dug a 1919 Merc and 2 Dairy tokens.
I also dug an old button. all I know about it so far is that it was made by Hammond Turner & Sons and they were in business from 1717 to 1950. If anyone has seen one these before, please let me know. Thanks.

This afternoon I got out for a couple of hours and dug a three Indian spill, an 1888, 1889 & an1894. I finished up with a chinese cash coin

Congrats Don, you really pile up the Indians, nice shape too. Congrats on the silver. I did manage to find my 100th War Nickel in 6 years today so I guess that is my thing. Thx for posting WD

Don, some great keepers. I am guessing that the button is a sportsman button, maybe 1840 ish.

WOW, Very Good. I just recieved an answer VIA email this morning from Hammond Turner in England. It was made between 1830 & 1850. And yes, it is a "hunter" sportsman button.
Thanks Al, You are Spot On!! :thumbsup01:
