Had a pretty good day yesterday! I think it topped number of buttons in one day for myself. 42 buttons in one day along with coins and other digs. It just about kick my old ass! Take a look... 11 - 1 (85).webp
Being an ole Virginia boy I just love those old Virginia buttons, this one is a beaut, along with the Navy buttons and early eagle Scovill.Waterbury. 11 - 1 (86).webp and many flats, some tombacs and 3 large cents 1828,1838 and no readable date on one. Indian Heads 1861 fatty and friends. 11 - 1 (87).webp.
They are all field found in an area of approximately 50 yards x 30 yards. Very much brick, pottery and old glass. Farmer getting ready to herbicide so about done. I had hit the spot on previous trips with my 11" coil but this time I decided to use the 6" and just concentrated on this area for the day. The equinox did a wonderful job picking through the trash which is very very heavy. Sensitivity down to 20 really did the job. Been a good winter but it is just about time to switch to fishing, Maybe even try a little water detecting. That is why I bought the equinox. Anybody out there having any luck with the nox in shallow saltwater, around old sites? Thanks for looking.

Holy guacamole. That's a lot of buttons.
 
Wow. You must have been a little sore after a day like that. Seems like you're on a real old site.
 
Dang!! I need a day like that!
 
WOW, epic day of hunting, There must have been spills of buttons because it should take days to recover all of them, your button pile looks like there is some really nice ornate buttons too. Big congratulations on all the saves
 
That’s a huge hunt
Congrats
