    cellar hunt with friends

    met up with Lodge Scent (Jeff) and OxShoeDrew today for a cold morning hunt . Being black friday meant there were a lot of deer hunters out and about and the site i had originally picked out was full of vehicles , that meant there were more than a few of them already out in the woods. not wanting to disturb them and risk getting mounted on someone's wall i chose another place not far away that i felt might give up some goodies. after a quick hike we arrived and it wasn't long before i had a couple of buttons , Drew found a copper ?? first . Jeff next had a fine looking copper and possibly a counterfeit . my copper 1749 KG II came at the end of the day it and a very early two piece eagle infantry button were my finds of the day. y'all get out there before the freeze .

    Jeff and Drew it was great to meet up again , we'll do it again.

    Nice job guys. Sorry I couldn't get out there with you, I would have much rather been out than be at work.

    Thanks Dan, a good day all around, with the exception of that guy holding a rifle silently glaring at me.
    You're on a copper roll! That one is in good shape Let me know when you guys want to hit it again and I'll find a site in that same general area.

    I hope you don't mind I added a few pics to your thread....that cuff button says, "C.R.R. of N.J." Which must be Central RR of New Jersey. They had that exact name from 1839-49. My copper is toast.

    That silent guy with the rifle was kind of creepy Drew. I think he was contemplating whether or not to put you in his freezer since he wasn't gonna get any venison

    congrats on the RR button Drew , those make nice additions to displays sorry to head about the copper , it looked kinda rough when i held it. it seemed a bit smaller than the average one and a bit thicker.

    I'm glad I have a scrawny, sickly look to me.

    Hey Dan, I think I missed the reverse pic of your copper....wow, nice looking!

    You should have pointed to the other guys Looks like a good day of it. Hunting season is not a great time to detect. Bright orange only makes it easier to shot you That button should clean up nicely Drew. Sweet, early button Dan.
