Lodge Scent

I hadn't gotten out in a couple of weeks but I was up at dawn Saturday and decided to hit a couple of remote sites that I hadn't been to in a few years to see if I could sniff anything out of the iron patches. Was rewarded for my efforts with a copper and buttons from each site.
First site gave up a decent 1801 Draped Bust.
The second site produced what I think is a KGII halfpenny that was turned into a button.
I didn’t think I would be digging much as these were pounded sites so I left my finds belt at home. I was a bit miffed at myself after finding this hole in my pocket. All the buttons had gone in that pocket. Likely lost 1 or 2.
Several buttons had interesting back marks. This button has no back mark but had an attached rim and it has an eagle motif stamped into it.
Spotted a nice garter snake.

that draped bust looks like it has loads of detail , I really hope to see it once you cleaned her up some :smitten:. The button however is very intriguing :shocked02:, i wish it took a better photo . the button itself looks pretty old but from what i see of the eagle looks to be a very old type of one . great finds !!:clapping:
