I have been having some great luck with my AT PRO, to get everyone caught up , i have been diggin a old site that i found after weeks of research. It really payed off. I have dug war of 1812 officers buttons, 1830 large cent, 8 flat buttons, silver coin spill, 1894 barber quarter, buff nickel, confederate block I button and many more relics there in the past 4 hunts.

Today i went back and the first thing i dug was a 192? mercury dime, then walked a few feet and dug another freaking War of 1812 officers button in perfect shape, still missing the shank, i found it beside the old well. I also found a 1894 Barber quarter and 1917 Buffalo nickel near the well.Check out my finds below, i have videos on youtube of these hunts. http://www.youtube.com/user/nuggetnoggin

Really love seeing those early buttons being found. I was priveleged enough to witness one pulled out of the ground while on a group hunt a few months ago. That really got my blood to pumping. Congrats on a great bunch of saves :icon_thumleft:

That is a fantastic button! Surely the finest I've seen posted on TreasureNet in terms of condition.

First Rate!

Nice stuff there! I really like that early eagle button! I also like that you found one of those oval items with the bracket still attached. Usually they are found separately.
