My first old finds

I’ve been hunting what I think is a mid 1800s house several times. My best find was two wheat pennies. Until today I found my first 1904 Indian and what I think is a New York excelsior staff officer button. It looks like it may have been hit with a disk or planter. I’m happy with my find, and very excited about hitting it again. I’ve hit the yard several times. But the field 25feet away from the house will be harvested soon and I have access to it also. Can’t wait for the corn to come down.

What no pic of the Ihp ? Congrats on your first. Second only to a silver coin an Ihp is my favorite find. Nice save on the button also. Looks like a promising site you have there, Good luck, Mark
 
Here is my Indian it not in the best shape. This is my first year detecting I always wanted to try it. I wish I would have started years ago. I’m having a blast!

Nice button! Bet if you found that then there should be some more nice coins in the same time period.

MDM thanks for the pic. A little rough but still an awesome save. They are great looking coins. And I hear ya, I felt the same way when I started. I thought why the heck didn't I start this 20 years ago. Quite the rewarding hobby. Literally. And I agree with others, probably alot more old targets at that site. Good luck, Mark
 
Those are some Super finds!
I would also be excited to hit that area again.
There has to be more good finds there.
 
It’s been raining here all day. A real good soaking so I’m hoping that it will improve the signals. I’ll be there tomorrow morning. I did some research on the this farm. It looks like the site is much larger than I thought. I can’t wait! Hope I’ll have a good update tomorrow. Thanks for all of the increment.
 
I’ve been back several times to the 1800s house where I found my first Indian and New York button. I didn’t find anything until the corn come down. I was out there while they taking it down, but all I found was a 1919 wheat. Until this afternoon. I only found one good find but for me it’s a great find! I think it’s a 1836 large cent. Wow I love this s- -t!
