    KG II and flat button

    Got out for about an hour and a half today and yes I went to my favorite field. First repeatable signal was the flat button. Pretty toasty and I am pretty sure it at one time had a back mark as I can see some lettering.

    The KG II is a 1740 and I believe that this is copper is #30 out of this farm. Pictures show pre-cleaned and then cleaned with some REN WAX on it.

    Thanks for reading and HH everyone.

    Probably nothing...in fact I've brought RobW, Lee and a co-worker there several times and they also have not gotten a copper. In fact I believe that I am the only one to get them. It seems very strange...almost mystical that this situation exists.
