Sunny and 50 degrees today, so I headed for the woods. Most of the 10 inches of snow we had the other day has melted, so the ground is saturated. Always a good time to metal detect!
Dug a ridiculous 16 shotgun shells in a row before hitting pay dirt. Found a really cool dandy button from the 1700's! It even has a design on it, which is rare for my button finds. It was 4 inches down in very wet soil. Had to put my knees in the snow to dig it, but it was worth it.
This is why I tolerate the lousy New England weather! It's a very special feeling digging up a Revolutionary War era button. It's like holding a part of history in your hand. Here's a few pics:
