Went with (fast)Frank today for about 6 hours to this real trashy cellar hole.there is a damn car in the hole! real difficult to detect a site like this but i managed to squeek some finds out.
i think it's a civil war or post civil war general service button in rough shape.
a bullseye designed flat button and a early scovill's designed button.Frank got a matron head large cent and i think it's gonna be a one piece military circa 1830 button.hope he gets it cleaned up soon so i can tell what it is.
now somebody i think on this forum said these mushrooms "chicken of the woods" were real good eating so,i filled a 5 gallon bucket and took em home.washing emm now and waiting for someone to tell me if these are indeed edible.

Nice finds! I've never eaten any mushrooms that look like the ones in your pics. The ones we've always hunted look like this:

I don't like id'ing mushrooms for eating from pics but I am fairly certain that those are Sulfur Shelf (or chicken-of-the-woods).

chicken of the woods

hen-of-the-woods-5.jpg

hen of the woods.

Both are edible.

As goatofwonder posted, the morels are great eating. They are my favorite spring time mushroom.

For fall, I like these.

Nice finds by the way! I think I would have been bummed seeing a car where I planned on hunting.

Congrats. Nice buttons. Man, when you "say" trashy and then show that first photo, well that was kinda funny ...lol
Thanks for the visual. When I think of trashy I don't envision a huge pile of visible trash like that...wow.
 
that is a tough hole but the underbrush didn't look so bad.Love the buttons good going.
 
The trash was annoying,but the weather was fine.Those buttons cleaned up nicely.We'll hit it again tomorrow:grin:
 
Nice buttons Dave and you guys did good once again.. Gonna give my 'ol Spectrum a spin tomorrow.. We will see..
 
Way to go on those coppers and buttons but as far as those mushrooms i would get myself a book to make sure because some mushrooms have twins and thier very poisionous.
 
Not bad for having to put up with all that big metal around........WTG!!!.......Cool fungus too!!
 
dave i mushroom every fall, its still a little early here in western R.I. for the yellow oak mushrooms, i have about 6 different oak trees dead and alive that i harvest hens from like clock work every year. ill post some picks when i do.oh yea nice hunt by the way.thats one of spots that really tests your detecting skills.gotta be more goodies hidden in that trash.good luck.
