My friends and I were in the woods this weekend and found a hillside full of iron and buttons. Only found one bullet. Maybe it has been picked over in the past, most of the buttons were very deep in the ground.

Nice hunt! Wish my buttons came out of the ground in that shape. Glad to see you having success.

Very nice buttons.....I would love to find a spot with a 6 to 1 button to bullet ratio. I hope it keeps producing for you.--JB
