Today's hunt was at the same field as before. I went hunting with a NCJim today. I didn't step 5 feet from the truck when I got a good signal and dug a button!!!
Anyway, 5 hours later I had 13 buttons (3 in bad shape), a furniture tack, my 4th spear point from this field and an old native pottery shard. Plus a bunch of odds and ends (glass, pottery shards, lead, copper etc).
The decorated button was sitting in plain view in an area we had hit over the two previous occasions. The rains from last weekend must have removed any dirt that was on it. The large coat button is 1 3/8s in diameter!!!!!
I stopped by to see CWDigger afterwards and he could not believe how many buttons I had found. All told I have found 22 buttons in that field. I think we are up around 40 to 50 in total, most of which have been an area of half a football field.
A good day for sure!!!!
