Decided to hit a field that I have been to in the past. I was really just expecting some wheats, boy did I underestimate.
When I arrived there a guy was mowing the lawn and I noticed that he had made about a foot cut into the tall weeds so that was where I started. The first dig was the 1841 O seated dime. Very dirty (brown) but I'll take it. Next was a wheat which was so encrusted that I thought it was a IH. About 3 feet away from that I get a Army Navy CWT, a first for me.
To me the last find is the best. I am assuming that it is a Massachusetts button only because of the Indian w/bow on the front. This one does not have a back mark nor the word MASSACHUSETTS on the front. Came out very clean and intact shank. Any info appreciated.
I also dug a buckle and a rolled up decorative piece of brass.
Thanks for reading and HH
