I ended up going out with Btv digger on Sunday in the welcomed vermont heat. He has already posted but I will recap. We ended up driving around quite a bit in the morning looking at our permissions to find a field that had been cut and hit a few fields with very meager results. In the afternoon we were pretty much at our wits end and were looking at the map and decided to drive a little out of our way to hit a field on one of my permissions that I had not hit yet. When we got there the field was freshly mowed. We started out in our initial line and minutes into it Btv pulled a copper alright good sign. Then soon after he pulled another. We then pounded the area for about an hour and a half with nothing but two buttons. We decided to give it twenty more minutes. I ended up walking into an area we already pounded (but lots of iron) and got a perfect 84 on the at pro, and got maturing in great shape. In then did a circle around it and got another perfect mid eighties signal. And pulled my best Connecticut at an inch down. I could not have been happier with the day but five minutes later I got a clear fifties signal and decided to dig it to see if it was a button and I pulled my first half dime and it looks like it was just dropped. Here they are enjoy them As much as I did.

Minus he wheatie and the buff, all of those would be firsts for me. You guys back east sometimes make me want to give up my life long search for old coins out here in Denver. But then I have a great hunt with some silver and I'm happy...
Amazing finds, congratulations and thanks for sharing.
