Got out for a bit this am to a new spot. Started hunting and noticed iron on top of some rocks & knew I wasn't the 1st person here. Well as luck would have it they really missed a LOT!

Overall the digging was good but there were a few spots where the frost was about 2" down. Had a few clods that I had to break open to reveal my prize. Got 5 exact same buttons all close together so my guess is at some point there was a jacket or vest that was thrown down and rotted away.

Also nabbed a buckle frame as well as a possible sword scabbard piece and part of a spoon.

The 5 buttons say "Superior Quality Strong" with an Eagle at the top. One of the other buttons is hard to read but looks like it says Kirby & Co, New York there's some other writing but I can't make it out.

Had to buy a Pro-pointer II as my original Pro-pointer finally bit the dust

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Way to go Rebel. Always cool to find a set of buttons. Nice of your matron to be wearing some green for St. Pat's Day.

Nice finds for sure! Gotta love it when people miss the good stuff but clear out the junk for you! :lol:
So how is the new PP? My pro pointer sprung a leak last year, so been shopping around. Was thinking about the new Minelab with the iron identification.

haven't gotten it yet but I'll have it tomorrow. I'm sure it will be the same as my orig. one but an updated model.

Great hunt! Whoever hit it before you left a lot of targets.
