That was a great hunt.You guys did good. Lately the past 6 or 7 cellar holes we visited were pounded. I and two other buddies got probably 3 buttons all together. We weren't even getting old trash. I can't wait for the fields to be cut. Till then we'll be looking for new places, and probably doing pounded cellar holes.

hey Dan thanks! the 2nd hole that you recognize is where Todd got his mass copper and I got the little eagle naval button.so many pieces of aluminum and pull tabs at that site,was frustrating.then the rain came and swinging through high ferns got us pretty drenched fast. actually there are 2 cellar holes there with the barn in the middle.starter home perhaps? or mother in law apartment? rofl
