Hello from northeast Connecticut

[OxShoeDrew]

Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and relatively new to the hobby. I am excited about the historical aspects of our hobby and the new things I am learning everyday. I can't wait to share these things with my students in September .....well maybe I can wait a little longer :-)

[Mudder]

Welcome to the site, and yes the hobby does put a whole new light on history. In your case you should be able to write it off as a work related expense. :drool:

Welcome aboard. great hobby ya got yourself involved in. There are no self help groups (though someone tried to claim this forum was one). History can come alive with every hunt. Looking forward to your posts

Thanks for the warm welcome everybody.
Yes Del, My Quiet Corner is getting louder...we have a large shopping center now :-\ I LOVE to relic hunt. I have found many things in 7 months that make me happy. Including a full pewter spoon from the federalist period, 1891 IH, flat button, many hand wrought nails, three ring minie, colonial shoe buckle, civil war era boot plate, and I am famous for digging up ox shoes (over 30), they trick me every time.
Coinnut, I live just south of Woodstock. I hope to try all the towns around here.
Good luck with the hunts and thanks again!!

Welcome aboard!!! The history aspect is wonderful... this forum and internet :shocked04:stretcher: so much info to be found! I love relics/old buttons myself- it's so neat to be able to date them using the backmarks. I take it that you teach history, right? :eyebrow: High school / college?

haha yeah....I do teach history....music history. The relics are a perfect addition as we move through the years from Baroque to Modernism. I taught HS band for many years but now teach MS and love it.
Not one of the buttons I found have any marks front or back. :confused:
Thanks for the welcome!!
