    Took the Dirt Fishin America (Idaho posse) to a couple cellar holes* Fugio* buttons

    Todd,Frank & myself took 3 guys from Idaho to a couple cellar holes.Brandon,Eric & TJ also known as the Dirt Fishin America gang.Eric & Brandon scored their 1st shoe buckles which was a treasure in itself seeing the smile on their faces.we all got a few keepers from 2 new sites that i had found.was a day of hiking,detecting, and sharing detecting stories.great group of guys and had a blast.told them that they are welcome anytime they get back to new england. Ct Todd graciously hosted them for a few days and are they so ever grateful to you Todd!
    my finds are a toasted 1787 Fugio,a few buttons,a broken silver thimble,a heart boot plate and a piece of chain.possible sword chain decoration? I'm not sure.

    Oldest coin: 1699 William III halfpenny
    Purdiest coin: 1832 Capped Bust quarter

    Nice finds Dave and from what I can tell most of your buttons have shanks. Still waiting to find an identifiable copper so I'm envious. Have a toasted one but have no idea what the heck it is.
