Tim (Ill Digger) invited me down to hunt a new permission he named Settlers Field. One Indian dated 1884, a partial ring and some cool flat buttons.

Definitely an old site by the looks of those flat buttons! That 1884 Indian Head looks like an early drop too. I'm glad you and Timmay were able to get together for a hunt! :yes:

How far apart are you guys? Looks like you have lots of room to hunt there. Congrats!

Nice going on the keepers. It's been so long since I've dug a nice flat button. Congrats on yours

We are about 2 hours apart. Sometimes he comes by me or we meet half way. Tim has the same values and passion as I do for the hobby. I wish we could hunt every hunt together.

those are some older type buttons (1820ish) , I bet there is a lot more hiding around there
