Wow that is an old one. Sounds like someone else has detected that home before you got there but at least they left you a 200+ year old coin!

Tony Two-Cent Today, 09:40 AMWow, where to begin? That magical site continues to give up wonderful finds!
First of all, that button is spectacular! It cleaned up really
Very impressive, Jared! Lots of silver! I especially love the 1870 Shield Nickel, rarely do we see a dug example that has such a clear date. Nice!

My oldest US button and more...
Thanks Tony! The button is a pewter button...the soil can be VERY kind to the buttons in most of the areas I detect there.
