so me and chrisinct decided to hunt on monday as the day was mild , the day before i had found a cellar hole that looked like it had not been hit to much , i only had 1 IH penny but thought i would take him there.
after about an hour i had nothing but chris had some awsome finds including the glass mason jar that was sticking out of the ground with a patern date of 1858 on it (ill leave him to post pics on this thread of his other finds).
i decided to take him to a house i have hunted before , built in 1694 and the house of the first minister of glastonbury.
the lady that owns it was married to a brit so she loves me to bits :uk:usaflag:: .
soon as she saw me she shouted ill put the kettle on and a nice cup o tea was soon being gluged down.
chris got his first signal within 2 mins and i heared his familiar call of ut oh it turned out to be a 1875 seated which we had a look at before i heared another ut oh from the same hole , this turns out to be a 1890 seated so chris was off to a flier !!!!!!.
then i start to hit buttons then another and another then an indian then some jewlery then a spoon all in all a great day.
del, the large button , could it be from the 1600S ? i ask this coz i would like to try and tie it to the first owner in some way so i can give it to the owner of the house.

wow sounds like the house has a lot more to offer you gents tell Chris congrats on the seated ladies :perfect10: and you two for the indian and buttons . I'm afraid the large dandy isn't as old as the house but more around the 1770's to 90's era type . so far most of the 1600s era types are smaller and pretty plain as most were cloth covered (so no designs) but there are some of the silver filagree types and theres a decent chance you may hit one of them .
