Day started out pretty weak -- hit an old house that I thought had some potential, but bagged it after 90 minutes and only one wheat to show for it. The lack of trash indicated to me that the site has probably been pounded pretty hard.
When to another site that wasn't high on my list (just a non-descript field), but was on the way home, and pulled an 1801 Charles IIII 1 Reale. I've pulled some older coins than this elsewhere, but none in as nice a shape.
Also pulled this button at the same site as the reale. Its cool when they have writing in them to give you something to Google. It is also cool to find remnants of locally made clothing (or any stuff) anymore. I'm guessing 1880's on the button.
(one link and one old advert I found for the tailor below)
