One hit=One military button

[pepperj]

Walked onto a well hit cellar hole not having lots of time. Walked over to the area where we've gotten Sapper & Miner Reg. Buttons. I cleaned this one off to be surprised that it was a 37 Reg. BUTTON. Little burnt but a keeper still.

Thank Gary

It's hard to get all the patina to stay on the buttons from this site, may the clay soil and the thousands of pees.

nice button

That seems to happen more times than not, get a real nice keeper and then nothing. I would of saved another hour or so if I had done that.

Yeah, that's basically my yesterday, nice find early on and then nothing but 200 or so digs of trash & foil afterwards....

Over the years I've had many that the keepers are in the morning and evening, nothing except trash/iron all day. Still doing this all these years later.

I'll have the marriage of the machine and the HF coil all done early in the week. But meeting up could be an option-for a hunt?
See how the TO-DO-LIST goes for me and the weather

Thanks CD

I'm going back to hit the iron patch at this and a few other cellar holes with the 9" HF coil so I will be reading over your post ups about the settings for running it.
You're really a great help on the different set ups. Thank you, and all the best to you on your next outing.
