June 16th - 2 Silver - West Point Button - Sash Buckle - Ball

[CTDirtFisher]

Hello all !!

As I continue down the get familiar with the CTX 3030 I am hitting some old haunts...

I headed back to the Colonial that I recovered the 2 Reale, Colonial Buckle, and many other goodies from...

I worked around the house and along the old main road... I've covered these parts many many times with my E-Trac...

First keep was a 1944 Merc from the garden area...

10 feet away was a nice signal...

I worked my way back to the front of the house... I got a nice 11/32 12/33 gignal at 6...

West Point (US Military Academy USMA) Cadet Button... This button's backmark is written in what's called raised letters (like on a typical coin), instead of incised letters (which go down into the metal). On American-made buttons, a raised-letters backmark almost always means mid-1850s or earlier.

The backmark appears to be Scovills & Co. / Extra ...which means the button was manufactured sometime between 1840 and 1850. (The company which made your button became Scovills & Co. in 1840 and changed its name to Scovill Manufacturing Compay in 1850.)

Working the old road was frustrating... Lots of old cans @ 10+ inches... Lots of newer pennies and all the crap from the road that has been thrown out the windows over the years... Near the drive I did get another silver...

1957 Silver Roosie...

last 2 targets were: An old nice cloaker and a sash buckle... Funny thing about the sash buckle is I got one here exactly like this one 2 months ago up in the woods...

Here were the totals:

I can say without a doubt that the low and mid conductive conductive targets in aombined ferrous target mode pop very nicely... Different from the E-Trac...

HH !!

Paul, very nice that you went back to the colonial. Seems that who ever had the sash buckles just couldn't hang on to them. The cadet button is really cool. Keep swinging that CTX, looking forward to your future posts.
