You guys out east sure do make some nice old finds, I would love to find one of them old GW buttons, they're awesome, I gathered up some of my relics, the war of 1812 era button is my oldest military button yet, I found it with my V3i on the side of a hill in a park this summer, it was about 8 inches down in a bunch of fine tree roots. The gold filled watch I found in another park in January about a foot deep with my MXT using the D2 coil. Also as you can tell by the pic I really like finding the old canine tags, my oldest ever is an 1896 that I found in Battle Creek Mi a few years back.
