Finally able to get out after work this week. I haven't hunted prior to this week for a long time :girlcry:

The wheats are all 1st and 2nd decade, the fatties are two 1860s and an 1863. I have already found a few fatties this year :loveit: I also found two trolley tokens to go with my trolley key and button I found lately.
One of the other IHs was an eyeball just sitting on a rock!!

Thanks for looking!

Nice hit on the fatties Drew. That's a handsome two-center! A bunch of ornate buttons too. What is that oval piece?

Well Drew, cufflinks come in pairs......meaning there is one more in that field waiting for you to find it ;)

Drew my man...great finds for sure. Man, those 2 centers will certainly put a smile on a detectorist's face won't they? I've only found 1 ever. Getting ready to hit the colonial farm fields this Monday after a looooong hiatus up here in northern New England. Can't wait!

Congrats on some very nice digs Drew. The 2 center looks to be on great shape with a nice patina.

Grats on all those finds, Drew. You need to take me to some of your spots....there's apparently enough finds to share. :lol:. That 2 center looks like it'll clean well. And that 1863 fatty is in great shape.

Fantastic finds, Drew. In my 40+ years of detecting I have only found one fatty, so finding three of them in a spill is pure fantasy land for me. They are in decent shape too.

The Two Cent Piece is awesome as well. Very nice detail on it still. :yes:

:congrats:

Great group of finds! With finds like that I'd stop off after each night too! Congrats on the fatty spill, don't think I've ever heard of one of those posted before.
