I've been sick on and off for a few months now (non-covid). When feeling well, I've been hitting a college commissary from the 1960s and a few of my colonial corn/hay fields. Lots of stuff, have at 'em.

Yep Dave, that's a silver scarab ring, with a rebus "I'm head over heals in love with you" etched on the back.
I dug more clad quarters at that site than I've dug in the past 10 years.

Thanks, Jeff! Thankfully, I'm feeling better at the moment. That's a 2 pc Connecticut Civil War era large service button.

If that's how you do when you're sick I can't wait to see how you do when you're well!
I hope you're feeling better, Drew. Definitely some great finds there! I love the silver scarab ring. The CT button is awesome as well!

Interesting finds there! I was out ill for only a couple weeks. When I went out detecting, my wife says “You can’t go out, you’re contagious!” I said to who, the turkeys and deer? LoL! I love fall hunting in the woods!
