    A button, My first lead toy, IH, Wheats, and a Buff

    Was able to get out yesterday I went back to a permission I haven't been to since late July an 1880 house it has lots of ground to cover. One of my first targets I had come to sounded really good on the detector but kinda jumpy from dime to a couple notches below penny and I thought to myself this sounds like a IH and 6" down out pops a 1898 IH I was surprised I was right but I think I'm getting to know my Ace 350 pretty well ( more than anything just luck and hoping that it was lol). A little later I was swinging along the sidewalk and pulled a 1956 wheat and a 1936 or 38 buff with in a foot of each other. Next to the flag pole out front I got a nice mid tone hoping for a old nickel flip the plug and I see what looks to be gold pull it out and it's a eagle button but I think it's a collar pin not sure any info on the button (Dan) or anyone it is appreciated as I was leaving I got the lead toy looks like a soldier on a horse pretty neat....Thanks for looking and HH Ben

    A buff with a date. A surprise. Nice finds. The collar button looks nice coming out of the ground. Maybe WWII like the other button posted within past few days. I didn't think there would be a screw shank to it. Al, the 250 and the 350 are almost the same. The 350 has a different coil and one other bell to it.

    Congrats on some really neat finds, a Buff with date is always a plus and the collar button is very nice but the lead toy is my favorite!
