    Heartbreaking find...and a question

    Hey folks. Well I hit the place I've been making the military finds lately and came up with a few more keepers. I tried a new area of the site and hit this 1853 U.S. Half Dollar!!

    1812 button? and more

    Well, I think I found another 1812 button. The Front has what looks like 3 feathers, and says "ich dien" and a "100". Obviously 100th regiment...although I can't be sure it's an 1812 button. The backmark says "I. Nutting & Son" which appeared to be in business from about 1800-1840. It appears to...

    Hey everyone. Well here is some more goodies I found at my military site yesterday. Two of the tokens were actually found a couple of days ago, but I thought I would include them since they all tie together. The one with the ship, and the one that you can see the lettering on are both...

    Another Military button and some other goodies

    Well I ventured out again today in search of my 2nd war of 1812 button. I did find a military button, but I believe it is later based on the backmark "P&S Firmin" which apparently dates to 1840-1875. I was a little disappointed when I found out it wasn't an 1812 button...but still a nice find...

I'm getting bored of that though, and hope to start digging some old relics...

    My oldest U.S. Coin to Date

    Well, while on my little vacation, I came across some road construction. I followed the trail of dirt to the spot they were dumping the soil they dug from the construction site. There was a large pile of dirt there, and I could see tons of broken bottles, bricks, some pipe fragments, and...
