Popular Post Cal_Cobra Posted January 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2022 Happy New Years!! Got out for a New Years Day hunt with TomCA and a friend of his, and everyone made some great finds! Tom hit a home run, but I'll let him share his good fortune. After seemingly endless rain, it was great to get out and detect with friends on New Years Day and see everyone go home with some nice keepers!

Hunterjunk Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Enjoyed the vid . The Reale is a ripper find , but maybe a bit strangely the bird cage button really gets my attention ! 4 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/17654-new-years-day-hunt-strikes-old-silver/#findComment-183902 Share on other sites More sharing options...

UtahRich Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Both the birdcage button and the 1 Reale are great finds. Impressed big time by the birdcage condition. Like the first flat button as well. Was trying to figure the writing on the back FINE ? Thanks for the post and video. Always enjoy a trip report.

UtahRich Probably says "London Fine", "extra fine" or "Sure Fine" , or some such gilt button markings. I also got one of those bird-cage cuff-link buttons . But mine was crushed. And didn't have that little cross-bar cufflink connector. That mean old Brian always has to one-up me, eh ?

Popular Post Tom_in_CA Posted January 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2022 I got three small PBs. #6, #8, and # 14 . All are common. But I'll take 'em. These little boogers are fun to find . I also got one of those bird-cage ball type ball buttons. But mine was crushed, and lacked the connector cross-bar. Leave it to Cal Cobra to rain on my parade, eh ? Fun Hunt Brian. Glad we could get out. Nice way to start the year. You skipped over clad, barbers, seateds, etc.... And went straight to touching the earliest era of CA history. Love the preview of signals/audio. The live reveals, etc.... Good job. 10 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/17654-new-years-day-hunt-strikes-old-silver/#findComment-183975 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Great finds and glad to watch the digs. Wish you more luck on your next outing. Past few days have been cold and rainy here with a dusting of snow. Don't know if I will be able to get out for a hunt until it warms up. 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/17654-new-years-day-hunt-strikes-old-silver/#findComment-183980 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_in_CA Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Our friend Dave got a keeper. A #4 small phoenix button. Type 1 style 1. Also two dropped pistol balls. Touching the Spanish/Mexican period of CA history. Nice going Dave ! 7 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/17654-new-years-day-hunt-strikes-old-silver/#findComment-184041 Share on other sites More sharing options...
