Took my Fisher 1266X out of the garage and had to blow the dust off. The first 10 minutes of detecting i found a cannon ball and a one piece virginia button.

Welcome and nice finds !

Keep @ it and HH!!
 
Did you recover these Today?
 
Wow! Did you find them in your yard?

I know some guys who have been searching a lot of years for one of those Virginia buttons.

Very nice find!

Great button. looks like its in very good shape.
 
You Found BOTH of these in 10 minutes after blowing the "dust" off of your detector? Did you do any research on a site or did you blindly find this "stellar" spot? I tell you what, finding a Virginia Button these days in that condition is a RARE thing. That was a lightening quick recovery.
 
Awsome 10 minute hunt!
 
Really great finds...what part of Virginia did you find them in? Use to live in the Winchester area myself when I was a youngster.
 
Good stuff EOD!! Welcome to Tnet!! What more can you offer to the story?

Now that is what I call a VERY sweet and productive 10 minute hunt!!!! Congrats!!! Love that button and it's in great shape as well. With gorgeous finds like that nearby I would never let dust accumulate on my detector!!! ;D
 
very nice finds ;D keep em comin :)
 
I know to above post. It usually takes at least 30 minutes at least....to dig a cannonball out....That was a quick one there. What part of Virginia are you from?
 
Msybe we should all put a little lucky dust
on our detectors. ;D :D ;D
Great finds.
 
Working that out in terms of value, that's got to be about $50 a minute, eh? Can't beat that...
 
I was researching the area where i was detecting and it appears to have been a depot there along with several camps.There is a railroad that runs through the property which is located next to one of the battlefields.I will be spending the next 4 days there and will post my finds when i get back.Hopefully more Va buttons there.....
 
I don't know much about CW relics, but that button looks GREAT. What kind of soil conditions? Maybe I will "dust off" my Pro XL this Sunday and find some Colonial relics. :D
