War of 1812

[ajaj]

Some exciting finds this weekend from norther Lake Champlain. The AT Pro was working its magic along the rocky shores and in the water (no wetsuit...legs got blue-ish!). In addition to a silver thimble and silver 1926 Ein Schilling, a 12th Regiment button from circa 1814...

Lake Champlain is not kind to large copper cents...the one pictured was luckily found in sandy soil inland.

Those are some pretty strong finds. LC looks in great shape, strong detail and love the button. HH jim tn

That's so cool! And in such good shape to be so old! I bet you're proud of it. Congrats on a sweet find!

That water sounds mighty cold AJ. But, you and the Pro are dialed in and those are some sweet goodies!!

Just a quick update on the 12th Regiment Infantry button; I'm donating it to www.12thinfantry.org so they can have a genuine artifact of their group from 1812.

Fantastic bits of history ! I've dreamed of hunting Lakes George & Champlain. I've toured the areas. Even did a little water hunting once off a diamond point resort swim area and got a 14K band.
Man you are in a prime area for early U.S. - but you know that...pardon my drool...
