  • I think the shiny button is made of tombac - that was probably a farm field of some sort - if there was a paper mill nearby - they often used the dregs as fertilizer (similar to lime) - being they used rags to make paper - lots of buttons in those dregs - I have some fields near me that are similar - when they are plowed you see little white glass buttons everywhere - great finds....

  • Awesome Coin!!!

  • 1663?! Holy shit!

  • Great video Jim...I think you got a keeper hot spot to work! HH!

  • Nice work Jim! Way to keep at it, and thanks for sharing!

  • AWESOME job buddy!!!! Keep tearin that site up, im sure more goodies are just waiting to be unearthed!!!

  • Well one thing we can say about the Colonials in your area is that the cotton they used was absolute crap since all the buttons came adrift, so they obviously ran around with their clothes a-flappin' in the breeze (the women, that is). Fortunately, among all that flappin', one of them became separated from their 1663 coin at some point LOL - along comes Jim. Congratulations & HH mate.

  • Nice find Jim !!

  • Hey Jim. You may be in an old Colonial Spanish Site. Those finds are very familiar to a website I found. I will try to get the website link to you.

  • Hey Jim,

    You wouldn't happen to know where I could get some buttons do ya??

  • NICE JIM! Congrats on your find! now you can pass the luck on to others oh btw did i tell you Congrats on your coin lol HH~

  • that is one nice fine you have there!

  • You found three thimbles cause they sucked at sewing on buttons! Nice coin finally.You earned that one! Please don't make it into a button! LOL! Nice sites.They'll pay off again!

  • You didnt get near as excited as I would have expected nor as I would have gotten. Thats a crazy nice find jim. Sitting there in the woods for 100's of years waiting on you. Fantastic find!

  • nice

    

  • hell yeah thats cool as sh@t , dig that area out, that many buttons and sh@t there must be more goodies!

  • totally awesome Jim, that looks like a long cross

  • Awesome Jim, happy for ya man, it is a long time coming. Was it just as exciting as the gold coin? :-p

  • @cmm2k5 The gold coin was pure shock value, this was more of a vindication kind of satisfaction...I knew there had to be a coin out there somewhere and that it would be amazing, just took a long time to get there.

  • @roadkillscjim how much is a coin like that worth and how much was your gold coin

  • awesome silver coin bro!!!

  • It got to be a place in there with lots of silvers.. Nice video and what a find!! Would love to find one of those! Plenty of relics there, makes the day great! HH

  • Awesome you found yourself a Cob !!!

    WTG, Keep @ it and HH !!

  • The relics you are finding are awesome colonial-era relics for sure.. The "silver" buttons you are finding are Tombac buttons and appear silver because of the metals they were made with.. exactly why they were using that material though=cheap silver ;) the silver scrap you found is very intriguing, would love to see close-ups of any designs that might be on it?? The shoe buckles are great, and the cob is outstanding! way to go

  • I like you vid's jim! keep up the good work ... John from New Bern nc...=)

  • great hunts !

  • Loved the way you kept your cool as that pack of dogs were bearing down on you.

    Or as as soon as you switched your camera off did you run like f**k?

    Cracking coin by the way, Good luck in the future.

  • Congrats with your real :)

  • Congrats man!

    

  • looks like your hot on the trail of some good stuff!

  • Congrats Jim :)
