2 Copper Day & Yes MORE Buttons!

[The Rebel]

Got out for a bit today as the temps were much cooler and the rain really helped + I was laid off a month ago. Went back to the site I've been pounding. 1802 & KGII + 12 more buttons.

Yellow jackets were out & about and spotted 3 nests in time w/o getting stung, WHEW! Mosquitos & deer flies were out in numbers as well.


Totals for this site are: 45 buttons, 6 LC's (4 DB's, 1 MH & 1 KGII), 1 IH, 1V & 1 Silver Washington.

HH,
Roger

Awesome finds and glad you didn't get stung. That would make for a bad day. Watching some of the YouTube channels, you can see the flies are out in the woods out East. They just started coming out here in WI a few weeks back. Annoying....

That is an awesome DB!!! Great finds!

[The Rebel]

Thanks guys! Just an FYI, do NOT use Andres pencils on coppers, scratches the hell out of them, even with me being gentile with them. The only one I like is the steel wool brush in the set.

Spectacular finds, Roger! That Draped Bust is :smitten: If I ever found a DB here in Illinois I would have a heart attack.

Lots of really old buttons too!

:congrats:

Nice haul Rebel. My kind of hunt.

If I ever found a DB here in Illinois I would have a heart attack.

Jeepers, finding a DB in that condition is blood pressure rising in CT too! :shocked03: Imagine if one was found in IL, with that dirt...wooowzers!
You have a wonderful site there, Roger. Looks like an 18th century, up to the CW. I've never found a pipe piece. Sorry to hear about the lay-off. Best of luck finding your new gig!

[The Rebel]

Thanks Drew! I've got a 2nd interview on Monday but also have a few other jobs I've applied for. The printing industry isn't what it used to be.


Sorry to hear about the lay-off. Best of luck finding your new gig!

outstanding amount of buttons and two coppers is great my friend . :clapping:

Roger I've been there with lay-offs , bot it took me a while to find something and settle into decent place that I was happy with . I hope you too can find a place that treats you well and pays decently.

Great fins. The 1802 is the only one I have of that variety and I had to buy that one. Congrats and Thx for posting WD
