I dub this place "button land"....
I went to an old home that I have been wanting to detect but my "Frankenstein Monster" that I created, Troy Ganton beat me to the place. I got him addicted to the hobby about 6 years back, he has the time to hit about everywhere around me. Ahhh. Oh well, I'm always up for the challenge of hitting places others have been. I found a few goodies but I can just imagine what he found. I only had time to hit half the yard and I have permission to hit the rest tomorrow a.m. I'm not expecting much but hoping for a lot. Ya never know.
I hit one hole that had 9 buttons in it. I'd pull one out and stick the probe back in and it would be singing again and again. Was hoping there would be an indian in with em or something but no go. I dug all the low tones that Troy left behind. Plus nabbed a real nice buffalo nickel with a real clear early date and an indian. If I find anything tomorrow I'll be posting. Here be the stuff.
Ya never know until ya go.
