Bullets, Button, and a Dime, on my.

sndman60 · Feb 25, 2008

First off, I want to give many thanks to all who have helped me learn this great hobby and offering great 411 and tips. It really isn't as easy as just buying a detector and finding great things. Now, I had a pretty good day on Sunday at a farm (I have permission to detect on) just a few miles from home. This place is very old. Spent the day there and had a great time. Where did the time go? I found a very nice 1926 dime (no D or S), a few bullets, some have an embossed star in the back inside, any ideas? I did find something that looks like it may have been an emblem for a coat or hat or something. It has four prongs on the back, again, any ideas? I managed to find a nice button it sang to me on my XLT at about 12in down . There was also loads trash items found and properly discarded. This place is great. It is the only place I have to go to right now and I will be here probably all summer. Thanks again everyone and enjoy the pics.

My XLT rarely lets me down! That thing has helped me recover lots & lots of treasure of the years!

Beat me to the punch. As I recall, there are several variants to this type.

Nice finds!

Thanks for all the great 411. It's nice to put some histrical details with something I find. If any one has any good information about anything I find and post please feel free to share. My research skill are improving but still fall short at times. Thanks for all your help and good luck.
