I received an invite from Grant Hansen to hit the standing colonial home site where I found my USA button two weeks ago. This was our third hunt at the property. It's a standing home in New Jersey about 15 minutes from my home and the finds can date from the early 1700's to yesterday. You can find a Revolutionary War button or a stinkin Lincoln. Ya never know. Today, I probably found a rare button for a detectorist. It's not rare as far as non-dug specimens but I don't think many detectorists have found one. It's a United States Military Academy at West Point button! My button dates no earlier than 1923. I also found a lead toy guy that looks like he's skiing.
