Don't give up on those "hunted out" spots. VA button, eagles I's!!

Went to my hard hit civil war spot I've been going to since last spring. I always find at least one good relic though. This time was no exception. Nothing for 2 and a half hours then boom, got a bullet. 5 minutes later I get two eagle I buttons 2 feet from each other. The brass was screaming after all the rain and moisture. I worked the area but found nothing else than a fired bullet. Circled around the area and came a cross a high 80 on the vdi. Saw in the hole a large coat button. Floored to brush the dirt and see my first piece of confederate brass come from this property! This gives me hope for a cs plate! Worked the area and got an 82 vdi on the ole f75 and saw silver in the hole, thought for sure it was gonna be older, but turned out to be a mercury. After a couple shotgun shells, then dug a wheatie. It's almost common at this property if you find shotgun shells, an older coin will be close by. This kinda breathed some new life into this spot! Never give up on those sites. Always a gem waiting to be unearthed! Thanks for looking and HH!

Very Nice;Congrats
 

Awesome job by you!
 

sweet finds on your hunted out sight, I on the other hand got skunked today at my well hunted sight,
 

That's a beautiful Virginia button!
 

Thanks guys.
 

You found the same buttons I have but that's all the cw buttons I ever did dig lol. Two eagle I. And a Virginia. Congrats on some beautiful buttons. And some nice lead. HH!
 

great bunch of finds, especially that button.
That merc ain't too shabby either.

I guess it goes to show you that no spot is ever truly hunted out. I believe that targets sink as well as rise, which is good for us.
It's like the ground is "growing" new treasures for us to find.

Congrats.
 

Nice VA button Matt
 

Great hunt! Congrats on that beautiful VA!
 

Some very nice buttons Matt, and that VA is a beaut! Too bad that merc wasn't a half reale. I bet that had you going at first.

Sure did, Bill. Thought for sure was gonna be older than 1940 lol. As they say, silver is silver I guess.
