With temps in the single digits we skipped digging yesterday and hit it today. Well quite possibly a bad idea, seeing as how the ground was frozen in most places over 8 inches down. My cousin Ryan and our friend Chris jumped around from site to site hoping one place would be less frozen than the other with not much prevail. It was 4:30 and the last site and the last signal. Bam, solid 80-82 on the f75. I wasn't leaving this hole without finding out what this was. I dig...like digging on a rock. 3 inches down and it was still frozen as can be. I told the fellas I had a killer signal and wasn't leaving til we get it. They come over and help. Finally about 8 inches through frozen mud and rocks, the propointer goes off. I grab my small lesche and retrieve it. Oh...it's a large flat button...all that work for a flat button. Our buddy Chris grabs it and rubs some more dirt away and reveals a bust on the front. I said nooo way. I grab it back and I see it clear as day the bust and "Vermon" on the side. Vermont copper!! Most likely a counterfeit and this thing is thin as a button. Coulda easily been mistaken for a button. This little booger saved the day. Thanks for looking and HH!
P.S. Sorry for the long story. lol Also sorry for the poor quality pics, had to take them inside tonight.
