I was finally able to get out and try my new E-trac today. Did not find a whole lot, but I think I made up for it in substance. One flat button, one pistol ball and one Spanish Reale, or rather change for a Spanish Reale... lol. Ohe yeah and the Mason Jar that dates to the 1920's I think.

Concord/Charlotte NC

I found this Half Penny in the vicinity of Camden, NC. It's about the size of a Half Dollar. It has a picture of a sailing ship on the front and it says Half Penny London. The reverse has someones initials in script surrounded by maybe oak leaves...In pretty bad shape and the only number in the...

I found this button, of all places , in Raleigh, NC. It was close to several Antebellum homes. I believe it is Union Navy, but yet again I'm not sure? :confused: The button measures 3/4 in Dia. The makers mark is Gem & Co. N.Y. or Gemsco, N.Y. My book has a few similar, but not exact.
