Looks like you are veteran of this fun hobby! Hope you find a detecting partner and post some great finds.

That is a very nice gift of various CW bullets and a sweet button! Good job fyrfytr1!

Wow! Nice clear date of 1798…yeah definitely a looker!

Great recovery on the copper spill! I think I have found 7-8 coppers in my life and I think just 2 came here in Michigan and the others I found in Ohio. My dream would be to find a state copper...

Wow you found 2 SLQ's!! Those are my favorite coin type and its been awhile since I last found one. And you got a dime trifecta! Yep that was a great door knock for sure!

Hope your back heals...

Here are the pics of the buttons that failed to show up on my original post. The Script A Coat button and the ball button were found at the Trade Post site. The others were found near my cottage...

Yeah that is center piece worthy for sure! To see so much of the original tinning is amazing.

British items are not found very often where my cottage is located. I have only found 1 button. It was one of the first old buttons I found that dates back to the War 1812 era.

Thanks Del! Yeah that book is a wealth of knowledge but only for the first half of the existence of the fort. The British occupied it until the War of 1812 and then they peacefully surrendered it...

Sorry folks! The pics are all mixed up a bit. At first they would not load and when I reloaded them they are out of order. I think you guys can figure it out.

I guess I will start this post by admitting that I am spoiled with the location of my cottage and the history that occurred all around it and even in my front yard.

Last week I took 5 days off of...

Wow! Don’t see platinum posted very often! Congrats on a great find.

Just a sample!!!??? Thanks for not overloading us because many of us can’t handle the envy! That spearpoint is pretty cool!

Yes much better than a stick in the eye! That is a fine hunt.

Thanks guys!
Drew - the button is a Scottish Militia button..."First Royal Lanark". I think they go way way back but mine is probably from the early 1900's since the back is iron. I could not...

That last pic of that Hibernia is awesome! Love it.

That is a beautiful old coin! I would ask how many you have found in your life but then I would just get even more jealous.

Congrats on the old coppers! Hope there is a silver there for you.

Last night I went out to a fairground that dates back to the mid 1880's for a short hunt. I was not expecting much as most of the place has be regraded and gravel/asphalt shavings are everywhere it...

That is a great return and story. Returning something sentimental like that is an amazing feeling! I admire your persistence. Well done!

Well done! That is a coin that has eluded me. How many have you found?

Wow that place sure has the goods! Nice write up too. 18 coppers and a 2 Real...yeah there has to be some more around there. This week will go very slowly for you until you can get back there.

Welcome! Lots of history down where you are! I’m am biased with Minelab detectors but there are lots of good ones out there. Nokta makes a few that are waterproof and in your price range.

Look...

That’s an amazing find and piece of history. Congrats!

Killer day for you guys! You are starting out the year great. The seated dime sure is pretty!
