    My luck is still holding out!

    I went back to the same site that gave me the Republican Blues button and managed to pull a Dragoon button, small flower button, glass button, 1821 capped bust dime and a 1789 Real. Not too bad for a 3 hour hunt. All told this year has been one of the best I have had in almost 50 years of hunting!

    WE have been hunting this site for about 10 years now. But, this is the first time the farmer has deep plowed it, so it is like a new site.

    A friend was looking at the black glass button and noticed a design on it. I used my digital microscope to capture the image. It looks like a flower, maybe a dahlia.
