    Last 2 hunts* 7 Coppers, Big Silver, War of 1812, Civil War...*

    The last two hunts from this past Saturday and previous Sunday produced a little bit of everything for me. These sites keep producing for me and Dave, we are going to be sad when we finally clean them out.

    Persistence paid off for me as I was fortunate enough in finding a total of seven coppers, a Silver Half Dollar, a War of 1812 cuff button, a Providence RI Civil War Token and a pouch full of relics on these last two hunts.

    The first group of pictures are from The previous Sunday and the second group of pics are from this past Saturday...

    Wow you could call that a couple of "Titanic" hunts cause you got a boatload of great stuff!
    Fabulous button and that is a neat token too. Keep hitting that site and if you guys squeeze it dry I am confident you will find another one as good.

    A big fistful of keepers. Love that CW token and the MASS cent. Getting 7 coppers and all those buttons and other relics is some great hunting. I have to confess that I am always preaching that I am not a relic hunter but lately I've started to really appreciate them.

    on all those finds.

    Oldest coin: 1699 William III halfpenny
    Purdiest coin: 1832 Capped Bust quarter
    Coolest find: USA button with blue threads still on shank

    Wow. Nice bunch. I been watching a series lately saying how much some of those civil war relics can be worth. I wonder if this be rare seeing as how small RI is and obvi anot a huge population. One matron is a little beat up. But still 7 coppers is crazy. Another artillery button but a different date. The half dollar looks great all cleaned. I think there were more this summer than last
