Button Hill keeps the relics coming!

[zaxfire69]

Well made another trip out to Button Hill. Last outing I found the British Redcoat button along with a few Flat buttons. Well this time was another great trip. Dug 13 colonial flat buttons and a Jews Harp. Also dug was a very small iron axe. Not sure on it, but it looks like one of the old wide blade axes. The land owners are going to be planting a watermelon patch up here before to much longer. Hopefully I can get 1 or 2 hunts in before that. If they plow it WOW the targets will be close to the surface then. We will see. Hope you guys enjoy the pictures and happy hunting...Zaxfire69..

P.S. Look for the British Redcoat button in the next issue of Relic Hunter Magazine.

cool finds.. there is certainly spanish silver to be found at this site

Thanks Guys. Umrgolf if it is there I haven't found it yet. I do know this..The site is LOADED with IRON!! I MEAN LOADED. You have to have ALOT of patience to detect here. I hunt in all metal and listen to every low tone of iron there is. If it even sounds like it isn't iron I dig it. I sure hope it is some silver here. If it is I haven't found it yet. Keep your fingers crossed!!

What is the item with the red arrow pointing at it?

 

[zaxfire69]

Think it is a button with the shank uncurled.

ModernMiner this was my first one. As soon as I turned the plug over I saw it fall out. I snapped the picture and was saying to myself, I can't believe I just dug my first Jew's Harp. Awesome!

 

[treasurepirate1]

that must be great to find all those buttons, i have an F75 as well but only had it for one detecting season, so far only found a handful of things worth mentioning but i hope my new 5'' DD coil helps at trashy spots.

 

[zaxfire69]

Treasurepirate the F75 is awesome. This trip i used the Garrett ATPro.

Those are mighty fine finds Zax! I have hunted many, many old sites here in Texas and never found a jews harp. Congrats on the magazine feature too!
