Think I found another spot and it gave up up some silver and a eagle button!!!

[Truth]

Hey guys I went to a field where a Navel Base was in 1940-1957. I found my first intact military button!! I was full of crud so I put it in my tumbler and came out pretty good. I still can make out the wording on the back any suggestions? Vinegar/salt/foil or lemon juice or just leave it? Either way I’m happy.

Also got a 1944 S War nickel and a beautiful 1942 D Liberty Dime. Also a religious pendent, a toy jet fighter plane and a beautiful 1914 wheatie. Good spot Good day [emoji1317]

Thanks BLK lose one spot find another. I was it was a little older but I’ll be working on my mid tone (gold ring) range.

Nice bunch of finds truth. The button is US Army jacket button, WWII or newer. If you can toothpick off the crud and get a maker you may narrow it down.

Nice bunch of finds Truth, I'm betting there's more silver there and as you're thinking gold rings also. GIs tend to party hardy. Love the jet also.

Nice finds. I would try lemon juice and a small fine brass brush to bring out some more detail on the back of your button.

I have the lemon juice not the fine brass brush. I’m gonna soak it away. Thanks John

Nice hunt Truth! Nice mix of finds. So you going to grid all 300 acres?

What is your mid-tone (Gold ring) range?

Digger they say you can hit gold rings 1-4, 8,9 man I almost killed my self chasing that. I basically find my gold rings if I get lucky and I can live with that. I’ve found 2 gold ring so far with the 800 which is a miracle within itself. A smaller ladies 14k gold ring smacked at 8” perfect 12 nickel signal and to my surprise gold. Second was a mans 14k wedding band with date from 1943 (both where from the 40’s) that hit a solid 20 8”. Now every time I’m passings penny signal I’m always wondering. Ugggh

Small ring

Large men’s ring

And as far as griding no! Lol I can’t grid a small spot,my mind doesn’t work that way in a structured setting, I’m a go with the gut kind of guy, translation I’m all over the place.

It was made by D. Evans & Co., Attleboro Falls, Massachusetts.
