Sunday Hunt with Mike starts slow & ends with a Confederate GA Button

Met up with Mike ( woodland detectors) for a Sunday hunt. Started off at the site the Script I's came from last week and recovered a few flat buttons and a VPI (Va Polytechnical Institute) cuff button circa 1900. Thanks for the ID on that one Mike. Mike recovered a nice .69 round ball from over a foot down in rocky red clay with the GPX 5000. After lunch we moved to another site and recovered a few more flat buttons, then the last target before we left revealed a huge 2 peice button. I was pretty sure that It was a GA Button after a breif exam and when i got back Tice's confirmed it as a GA206A1-Georgia Coat button with Horstman & Allen / NY backmark! SWeet!

Great looking buttons James.

As far as
"Mike recovered a nice .69 round ball from over a foot down in rocky red clay with the GPX 5000."
I think that's almost a surface find for Mike and that machine.

Way to go guys,
Doug
