G.W. Buttons #2 and #3

[shvlnflds]

I wanted to hunt the old rocky cornfield again yesterday before they started planting the crops. I was digging every signal with the sensitivity turned up and the discrimination turned down. I dug a bunch of nails which I already knew was iron, but was something to do. I was about ready to leave and I thought that I would hit almost the exact area where I found the other buttons again, which was about the fourth time since I found the other G.W. button. I was scanning every which way. I thought that this is a pretty good signal, but I started digging this same hole the other week. I didn't dig the hole before because it was so rocky. I pulled the first one out of this hole at around 10 inches to one foot. Was pretty psyched and kept scanning,it wasn't 5 minutes later and I pulled another one out about 10 feet from where I found the 2nd button;it was down about a foot also. When I dug the last button which was the 3rd one I was positive what was already in the ground. On this whole I dug most of it by hand (so many rocks.) Went and grabbed my coat and walked away with 2 clumps of ground in my pocket. Unfortunately these 2 were also hit with the plow; actually the rocks probably bent them up when they plowed. I was told these buttons come in fours, so there should be 1 more somewhere around there. I don't know how I missed them before. None of these have shanks on the back of them.

You may want to look into getting them straightened by a professional.

I would do that right after I dug 20' x 20' 2 feet deep!

That would look a little suspicious to the landowner,but I could borrow a trackhoe from the company that I work for.

Tell him you found signs of an old bottle dump and you want to take some soil off to try and find it.

The landowner actually knew that there was an old house in that general area,but they thought it was in the woods. They have the original deed to the land that was written on sheepskin,but I never saw it.

So far I've seen two people on T-Net dig sets of four GW buttons. Both from NJ and I've seen both sets live...great stuff. Maybe you will be the first on T-Net from PA to dig a complete set. Good luck...hope you get the fourth.

Seems like the 4th has to be there somewhere. Looks like you'll be doing a lot of digging over the next few weeks just to clear the area for it to show up. And 3 ain't too bad in any case. I'm sure most of use will never find even 1! Congrats.
