Took the Dirt Fishin America (Idaho posse) to a couple cellar holes* Fugio* buttons

HEAVYMETALNUT · May 10, 2014

Todd,Frank & myself took 3 guys from Idaho to a couple cellar holes.Brandon,Eric & TJ also known as the Dirt Fishin America gang.Eric & Brandon scored their 1st shoe buckles which was a treasure in itself seeing the smile on their faces.we all got a few keepers from 2 new sites that i had found.was a day of hiking,detecting, and sharing detecting stories.great group of guys and had a blast.told them that they are welcome anytime they get back to new england. Ct Todd graciously hosted them for a few days and are they so ever grateful to you Todd!
my finds are a toasted 1787 Fugio,a few buttons,a broken silver thimble,a heart boot plate and a piece of chain.possible sword chain decoration? I'm not sure.

That's a hot day out with the guys. I just walked in here and they are sprawled all over the place still asleep you must have worn them out. Good. I cant tell which one it is but one of them is snoring soooo loud I can hear it from my desk as I type this LOL.They really wanted Colonial Shoe buckles and were all looking at mine so I'm sure they are very happy. See you soon Dave.

Oh man! These New Englanders know how to hike! If I did that kinda hike everyday (like I should) I'd be in great shape! Soooooo much fun guys! What an adventure! Eric Finnally got himself a copper and pulled the sweetest brass show buckle I've ever seen. What a day! 7 very long days have caught up with us. I'll try to post up some pics a little bit later. Thanks again to Dave, Todd and Frank!

Congrads on the finds and glad you guys had such a good time. Im still recovering from the poison ivy from Franks hunt.

Congrats indeed! It's been awhile since I've dug an old button so it's nice seeing yours.

A great bunch of finds - congrats !

Great finds, as usual. Those Dirt Fishin' guys have a pretty good gig going. Hook up with fellow hunters that consistently have amazing finds. Pretty good odds of making some great finds. Now if I could find a way to swing a week long road trip of detecting..........

Congrats on that Fugio Dave - just found my first today as well... Thrilled. BB_in_Maine
