I have not posted in a long time, I have been a busy boy, buying new toys, getting things done around the house, and helping allot of my friends with things of there's. I have managed to hunt a few times in the last few weeks sometimes finding stuff allot of times finding garbage and trash. Today I was hunting with Oldjerseygirl in this field.

She didn't find much and I squeaked out a bunch of flat buttons. That Deus is great in fields! Here are the buttons

Lots of digging, being busy keeps one out trouble, and getting new toys is the reward.

I see at least 2 Tombacs. Those are some old buttons Brad. I have never found that many in one hunt. I would be pumped. A SLQ, Merc and other good stuff on your other hunt...looks GOOD!

Looking at your finds I am thinking you're just scratching the surface and more goodies are waiting to be found.

THANKS BUDDY!

glad to hear from you....thought you might be stuck in a lake.
I let things pile up because I was in the lake so much, thanks.

Congrats on scoring in both fields. :occasion14: Looks like you had 2 beautiful days in the fields.
I also was up in CT in some fields 20151024_151544.jpg 20151023_164047.jpg 20151023_144828.jpg
Didn't find much, but sure was beautiful. Another lake to explore too.
Thanks

Not far from where I found my Spanish before.

Nice finds brad, buttons are just as good if not better than coins in my opinion, good stuff!
It was cool, I basically was in a 20 X 30 yard corner of the field and kept finding those buttons. I have to go back today, so many fields, so little time, ha lol

Thanks, the SLQ is a D mint, can almost see a date, either 18 or 19

Thanks Tom
I went back yesterday, found two more buttons. The property had been hit very hard over the years, there are some old foundations on the property. The nephew came out and checked me out (he didn't know we were going to be there) he said he detects. He asked why I was doing the field? I told him because it was right next to a house that dates back to the early 1700's. Then I showed him the buttons.

Wow awesome hunt, man thats a lot of flat buttons....:icon_thumright:
I still can't believe I didn't come up with at least one coin.
It's a big field, once I get done a hot spot/iron patch its always hard to find another hot spot. My area the hardest part is finding where others have not cherrypicked, and the farmers don't turn fields like they used to. They keep tilling them instead.
Thanks pirate!
