    Settlers field site with Ill Digger

    Tim (Ill Digger) invited me down to hunt a new permission he named Settlers Field. One Indian dated 1884, a partial ring and some cool flat buttons.

    We are about 2 hours apart. Sometimes he comes by me or we meet half way. Tim has the same values and passion as I do for the hobby. I wish we could hunt every hunt together.

    those are some older type buttons (1820ish) , I bet there is a lot more hiding around there
