Todays CW finds from the 1850's site

[Dan(NM)]

I was able to get back to the CW site today and was able to pick up a couple of first's for me from this place. The Great Coat button and the A button have eluded me since I started hunting the place. Finally the button god had mercy and bestowed it's graces upon me twice. I was hunting an area that I had gone over before, but, this time I went east to west instead of north to south. All the targets were a dig me, no doubt about it hits( I suck) just flat missed them. The bottom button is a 1 piece and looks older than the others, I cannot tell if there's anything on it or not.

My settings were....

Nox 800

Park 2

Recovery 5

Iron bias 2

Sens 19

Auto GB

No disc

2 Tones

Tone break from-9 to +8

11" coil

Another great hunt Dan, congrats on the A & Great coat buttons & the D, your bottom button sure appears to have something on it, congrats on all the saves

Thank you!! All I did was run them under water and used a toothbrush on them, then rubbed them with my finders. This soil is almost pure desert sand and drains very quickly, everything comes out looking like the day it was dropped.

I think the color difference is the lighting, I had an LED light on and the flash from my camera.
