Rainy Saturday digging - 10/3

[Trooper Bri]

Met up with Dan at our usual place and time to head back to last week's site since it did so well. Forecast was for a wet, chilly, and windy morning.
I've fished plenty in the rain, and have been ice fishing in every condition, so I was prepared. Just had to toss some good Ziploc baggies over the head and box of my V3i.

No coins for me this week. 5 buttons and an interesting clip that Dan thinks may be off a type of sandal. It was a long weekend and I'm just getting caught up. Got my first dandy that has some fancy on it, and the large pewter button I dug looked plain until I took pics. It's got some hash marks around the edges.
Congrats to Dan on that copper spill! I wish I had been there for more than half the dig.

Very nice Brian. The sandal clip thingy is certainly my favorite of your finds this time. Keep up the good work!

Even though you didn't find coins, you still got a nice cache of relics. Congrats!

very nice dandy button Brian , I pulled one just like it at that site but mine is in rough shape and the design is a bit hard to make out. the decorative "tab" looking piece is indeed a clog clasp , just google it and you'll see very similar examples from the late 1700's to early 1800's . 10 coins total between us in the last 2 trips , that is a pretty amazing ratio.

Wow, Brian. Your killing it this year. Congrats on some really good digs!!

Another good dig! I don't think I've seen a clog clasp before, congrats on the buttons !

That's a lot of high targets....don't you just love the attention to detail those dandy button makers had? I'd hit that with a brass brush and call it good :lol: Congrats!
