Four weeks ago, Noah and I stumbled onto an 1833 cabin site in a corn field.
In two short hunts and 2 all day hunts we have pulled out an 1829 half cent, an 1875 shield nickel, a 1906 Indian and 79 buttons.

My question is this, why would one cabin site produce so many buttons. i'm sure this can't be the norm, or is it? Mostly flat buttons, but we did dig 6 militia buttons from the 1820s.
WHY so many from one cabin? any ideas?
Thanks, Don
