headed up to the north west corner of the state with Todd.found one cellar hole that was pounded and while walkin the trail back to car i see a slight tiny depression with a couple straggler rocks at one side of it 10 feet from edge of old Road.I stopped and said hey todd look at this. any person walking by would not have given this a 2nd look that's how subtle the depression was.so todd says fire up your machine & see if there's any iron.soon as i started swinging,iron hits,then a larger tombac thumbsup01.we took off our back packs and hit this small area for the next several hours.a iron tongue & chape from a shoe buckle.quite a few buttons all early ones surfaced.tombacs,large dandy's.2 with what seem to be very early back marks.one i think is a early scovills that just says LH &SW co with a few letters i cant make out and one of these leadish type buttons that i find at early sites.they are not tombac but have a high percentage of lead in them cuz they are always white.maybe a lead/pewter mix i would assume.but this is the 1st i've dug that has some sort of backmark on it.has the seem going across the back as well.looks the WA?
