    HUNT WITH THILTZY *91st COPPER & ANOTHER GW BUTTON

    Got out on another hunt with Todd(Thiltzy) to a couple sites he found.
    1st site was pretty hammered,then we wandered up the hill to find another site.we saw all the walls and 2 square piles of stones.possible chimney piles.thinking this must have been a cabin site because no cellar hole was dug.buttons started poppin almost immediately.tombacs,a pewter button,and mostly early one piece buttons.i nabbed a connecticut copper as well.when i dug one of the large dandy's i showed Todd & I said it looked like it was in a fire.
    cleaning up the buttons I save the 4 large dandy's for last.the burnt one i was scrubbing with the brass brush and saw the arrows clutched in the eagles talon
    what a shame out of all the buttons i dug today this is the one that ended up in a fire
    and the blob of silver slag or whatever metal it is almost went in the garbage dirty,why i decided to scrub it i'll never know but it has a partial imprint of a large cent on it
    was a real fun hunt with Todd & look forward to going back to this site with him

    Dave, you're a GW magnet. To find just one makes a detecting career but to find four... .
