....you just get lucky when 10" of snow melts in time & the ground is actually soft <img src="/metal/html/super.gif" border=0 width=26 height=28 alt=":super"> We hit the field I got the 1812 button as my last find of 2004, & started the year off right. First signal was a early 1800's flat button, second signal & first coin for 2005...King Geo. II copper. BUt the first coin I <STRONG>can read</STRONG> <img src="/metal/html/wink.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt="
">..in the middle is a nice looking George III dated 1775. Then 2005's first silver coin was the tiny Canadian 1/2 dime (heart attack; thought it was a 1/2 Reale!) <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt="
"> Also several buttons...one a CSA Virginia Civil War even. But, maybe my best find is a Colonial wax seal with a guys head on it. Too bad there's no initials...but maybe it can be traced to someone someday?...The other guys I was with also got some great buttons too. HH, Bill
