Thread: Little buttons

  1. #1

    Little buttons

    Hiked to one of my favorite spots. Just a very small colonial homestead. No stone foundation, just a slight indent in the ground where they built their tiny log cabin. Nothing spectacular found at this site, just a nice little place where I can detect in peace.



    I used my "Cuff Button Killer" program. Found most of the buttons right around the indent in the ground.

    The dime is just for size reference. I found a few nonferrous targets that were smaller than a BB. When they are that small, even when you have the target out of the hole it sometimes takes forever to recover it. Well, it feels like forever anyway. It was a pleasant hunt and a good way to spend a couple of hours in the woods on a beautiful morning.

    Wow, Jeff! So many small buttons. Check them to see if they have a Washington bust. Looks like a great hill top flat area with lots of swinging room. Dan tells me those really old sites produce buttons but not a lot of coinage. Nice job!
