Civil war navy buttons metal detecting10/18/2023 ![]() ![]() The other side says: The Federal Union Must and Shall Be Preserved with 13 stars One side has a Wreath with an anchor, swords and says Army And Navy So I get my indian back home and give it a hot peroxide bath, well it turns out to not be an Indian, its a Army Navy civil war token. I think I only found 3/4 last year so I am blowing last years total away. I find lots of lead, bullet casings, horse shoe like thing, wedge for cutting wood?Īt the end of my hunt I go back to the place where I found the coins earlier, and I pull a really really worn 1917 Mercury dime. (see below)īy another tree I get a nice Navy Button, Scoville MFG Co Waterbury I dug two wheats early in my hunt, 1934, and 1939. First cool find of 2020.I went to an old spot in Lyndeborough NH where I found an Indian head in a prior hunt. ![]() And my first civil war (anything ) button. So second outing gives up 7 more Wheaties, my first V & war nickel fty and a 1919 D Merc. After a little clean up I thought the button to be WW2 but a little research shows it to be a union navy civil war button. My first V of the year, pretty toasted and did not see what it was till clean up. I think who the heck would put a chicken on a button ? KFC ? One more 12-13 in the dark was another nickel. Thinking I haven't dug any clad I decide to dig, now all I have is the led light on the pinpointer and about 6in.down I see a small disc the size of a dime, wipe it off to see its a button, another wipe and it looks like a chicken on it. Swinging my way back to the truck a deep 21-22 gets my attention, maybe zincoln, Ihp. Getting dark I got a solid 12-13 and out comes a war nickel from about 3in. The next high tone was also a deeper wheatie. The next signal was a high tone wheat and shortly after got a 25-26 and about 5 in down was a worn Merc that showed herself on the reveal as I flipped the plug. The next place gave up a few more Wheaties and a large reed. After 2 hrs all I had to show was 5 Memorials and 2 clad dimes and I did manage 1 deep wheatie. ![]() Signals getting scarce, I'm starting to think I picked this place pretty clean. Was able to get out for a few hours this afternoon and headed back to where I got my first 2 silvers on Sat. ![]()
