I’ve only been out twice since my last post.  Too much heat and too much life.  The shovel works well, tho  How could it not, its a shovel after all.

I found this button yesterday, flat button, full shank, about 200 years old, about the size of a dime.  Some people get excited about finding this sort of thing.  I’m not one of those people, but it is still cool in some sort of way.

I find quite a bit of these, as well as other relics 200-300 years old.  I just leave them in the hole for the next guy most of the time unless there is writing on them, or there is something else eye catching about them.  Catch and release, as it were.  I know the next guy will enjoy finding them much more than I did, and I believe all actions of man must increase positive utility in the world.

I’m only posting this button because I made major changes to the software that makes this place run, and I just want to make sure it works.  Hopefully the heat will break soon, and I’ll get out and find something absolutely stunning.  Well, at least maybe the heat will break someday.
