    buttons taday with Coinnut

    what a perfectly beautiful day here in New England it was around 72 degrees , it was buttons , buttons
    and more buttons today lol lol Coinnut and i chose to hit an area that last fall produced 10 coppers
    and over 250 buttons total . we figured with the spring thaw and the ground being perfect and moist , we could atleast get
    a few more buttons and deeper targets . we were right we were pulling them in areas we hit before and hoped
    for a deep coin or two but
    it just wasn't ment to be today the highlights of the day were the colonial seal matrix and another commemorative
    button to celebrate Wellington's victory at waterloo over Nepolean in 1815 .

    Hey, I'm finally done detecting lol I got done around 7:30 PM, a short hunt rofl After spending the day with Del , I went over a friends house to try my big monster coil in his 1814 Colonial paper mill that produced squat last couple of times there :bangahead01: This time I was determined to get something good. I was hoping for a copper and had some deep 12-46 readings, but all I got were copper scraps and NO coppers First hunt gave me 26 buttons, 2 buckles, some clad and some odds and ends. Mill hunt finally gave up 4 wheats, 1 Jefferson, and a 1924 Mercury Dime. Not fantastic, but I'll take it from this site. Lot's of junk today. All in all, a good day to detect, and yes Del my arm is fine. I think I'm getting used to the weight of that snowshoe coil rofl

    Pounded sites still can produce and it shows by the number of good targets you guys dug.The wax seal matrix is real nice Dan and is an item on my list to find.Good number of buttons guys,you never know when one of them could be a great one.
    Hey George did you use that garbage can cover coil all day? When I use my big coil I feel like it is a can cover,gotta get use to slowing the thing down at the end of the swing.

    Geeze Dave, I'm not supposed to be using that salad bowl lol Now, I'm gonna have to clean it too rofl That's why I don't like salad at my house I always inherit the old stuff for cleaning my finds. She never throws away anything before I hear &quotshocked04: you need this for your detecting stuff? Sweet!

    My snowshoe? lol Yea, I used it all day at both sites. I was pleasantly surprised that my arm didn't fall off rofl Because I have to swing it slower for the E Trac to get great depth, I kinda have a steady, even swing. So it's not that bad at the end of the swing. A good hunt and the weather was perfect

    Any time you have the same day free, give us some heads up and we can get together. At least you got out to detect a while. But I agree, it's real tough when kids are around

    del, That waterloo button almost looks like mine. remember where we were? where I found that Fugio Cent. Mine says Battle of Waterloo 1815 with a similiar drum pattern. Is it silver looking like mine? You found one there also I think.
