Default Big silver, little silver and 2 really nice GS Buttons
Got out for an all day hunt with Curtis today at an old school and had a pretty good hunt.

No need to describe my finds here, the pictures tell the story.
The mercury dime looks like it was part of a ring or something.

Hope everyone's having a good weekend. HH

Keith

Never thought about it being a button. Good call!

How did you get the buttons so great looking? I have one that is in great shape but not shiny like yours.

Congrats on your big and small silver! And some nice buttons and wheats as well. Why are all the Franklins 1952 lately?


Hunt Happy!

Way to go on the finds especially that Franklin, congrats! I am still looking for my first Franklin and I am sure it was a thrill to see it in the hole.

All I did was use a soft toothbrush and soapy water on them. They were dug out of some nice sandy soil.

Thanks everyone for the commments.
