Some AWESOME CW saves today. Nice eagle button and fully intact spencer bullet.

Got out to the CW campsite around 7:45 this morning and didn't leave until 3:00. Hell, I was just enjoying the beautiful day most of the time before we get this snow they're calling for. Anyway, I hike to the usual spot and I'm not finding anything. Nails upon nails to begin with. Then I decide to start gridding this area out. It worked in my favor! I get a couple spencer bullets to start out, then I find my first eagle button! It's in rough shape, but it was a button! Almost a foot from that I found another eagle button! This one was all intact, which is RARE in this plowed soy bean field. Never found a whole button in this field until today, so I am proud of that find. So I get up and start detecting my gridded out area and I get a real iffy signal...went from dime/penny/nickel, all over the place really. I dig and I see another bullet casing(I'm thinking "great, another one of these"). BUT for some reason I told myself to be careful with it...nearly centimeters away from crushing it with my shovel...I pull out my first fully intact spencer carbine bullet. I did a little 'WAAHHOOO", and instantly took a pic of it and sent it to flyinryan2, who was also hunting with me.

That kinda topped my day, I didn't find much after that. Just a couple different callibur bullets and some camp lead and rivets. We all had a good day out there, my cousin(flyinryan2) got him a small cuff sized Infantry button and some bullets and another guy with us got a bunch of bullets, flat buttons(one that says "Rich Orange Colour" on the back? never seen that) and a beautiful red patina Buffalo nickel(1934 I believe). Thanks for looking!
