Got together today with a couple freinds & we did some speed detecting.. lol We had 600 acres with about 8+ different sites on it to cover in one day, The sites ranged from a few old home sites to a horse wagon spring watering hole all the way to a Civil War battle site ..I gained permision from a co-worker that owns the land to hunt it, we spent an average of about an hous or two at each site until we ran out of time & sunlight.. We only had time to hit about 5 of the sites today & no where near even scratched the surface at any of them..The weeds were tall & the ground was very hard, but it was a great & fun day, I will definitely be returning to the area again once the weeds are down..Here are a few pictures My wife took while I hunted..I didn't make a lot of great finds today, but I had a fun time trying..

That button looks like a Marines 2 pc button and may be one listed in Albert's Button Book as MC10E It says the back mark is Waterbury Button Co./Waterbury Con It should be 23mm wide. No dates given in that book, but I'm guessing 1860's on it, as a ballpark guess. Sweet hunt 
. You could spend a lifetime just there! I'm sure you'll make some great discoveries. Good luck!
