It is so nice to be able to go out detecting again after the long winter. Most of these finds came during my lunch breaks at various parks nearby my work. I started March with 42 wheats before finding a silver coin...kind of an aggravating stretch. The 3 war nickels came in one hunt last Friday.
Then on Saturday I braved the snow and rain and went to a very old park and even though I lasted only 3 hours because of the snow I was pretty happy with my finds. I found an Excelsior Eagle button (from the very late 1800's likely), a Navy button that has an iron back to it, a flag pin with a screw post on the back that I am thinking might be military related but not sure, an 1882 indian and a really nice 1858 Flying Eagle with a hole in it. The arrowhead came from a field site behind my house that I have hammered over the years.
Thanks for looking and happy hunting. Jared
