AHHH finally the weekend! I got a few hours to hunt today so I decided to go back to the spot that has rewarded me with a nice handful of coppers, capped bust dime, and two other marine buttons just like this one. (only this one is smaller). The draped bust was trying it's very best to hide behind an oxe shoe...BUT once I moved it the DFX went bonkers. It must have only been a foot away from the last draped bust, and 1827 large cent I found. I'm sure it was a pocket spill, but it just took 3 seperate hunts to gather the spill. ALOT of iron around the cellar hole. I"m constantly moving it trying to stir up some more good stuff. The small marine button was also mixed up in the nails and scrap, somehow after several times slowly going over this one area I managed to find this small button. This site is very large and I"m very confident that there is more to be found, however the large majority of items that have been found has been very close to the cellar hole and barn hole. I really need to start bringing a camera in the field with me. I heard a dog barking a ridge or two over (which is strange, no houses within 2 miles or so. Must of been a stray dog or just loose). Anyhow, all of the sudden out of the corner of my eye I see a bounding deer headed straight towards me. It slammed it's breaks on prolly 30 yards away, froze. I to am frozen solid just watching. So I pretend to "grunt" at the deer to see what kind of reaction I could get. Nothin. So then, I "snorted" at this big fat doe to see what she would do. ANd then, she fired her tail straight up and started "prancing" away. I mean, she was like a show horse. She was raising her legs very high each step, I've seen alot of deer in my time...but never seen one do this.
