Today I took some time for myself and headed to a far corner of the hay field accross the road. This spot in the field was my first serious hunt this spring with the ACE 250. I brought home a 1798 LC, a handfull of tombac and dandy buttons. This is the first time back to this spot since that weekend.
Now I swing a Minelab 705 and was thinking that I could pick up something old. I turned off the iron, cranked up the sens. and picked my way arround.
Not really sure what to say other than the best button came first at about 10". I knew right away that I had a KEEPER ;D In my watch pocket it went....... About twenty feet away got another broken deep signal....... USA # 2 !!!!!

I spent another hour and got a small cuff size tonbac then called it a day.

I will be going back.......

Thank You every one for the Banner votes !! The button sure does look good up there!

Stay tuned as I will be headed back to this part of the field again this coming weekend. (weather permiting)
The grass is kinda tall because the farmer was not able to do a second cut this fall. Makes for some tough detecting. I guess that I shouldnt complain ;D

Fantastic find! I am glad you didn't get rained out like many of us here on the East Coast this weekend. That is one of the nicest pewter USA buttons I have seen. I think there have been 3 posted recently, and at least one of those made the banner. IMHO, none of those hold a candle to yours!

I am also thankful that this made the banner so we don't have to see Iron Patches bumps for the next 90 days :wink:

Congrats!
Neil

Congrats on the Banner,Well deserved as that is a Very Nice button and in Very Good shape too. :notworthy: :headbang: :hello2: :hello:

Wanted to mention something I've started using as my own experimental preservative and seems to work good for me as I can tell.I just use a small paint brush and smooth it out all over and keep painting the access off tell i'm happy then let it dry.It dries clear adds a protective coating and the polymers help keep it intact.Safe as well to you as it is a organopolymer.Anyway just something I thought I'd shoot out there.The other things talked about are from guy's who know best probably.
Here is a site on it if you care to read.Also on the bad ones I repeat this a couple of times.

Congrats on a well-deserved banner, VP. :notworthy: Sites just don't get any better than that one. Hunt it, hunt it, and hunt it until there is literally nothing left. :thumbsup:
