October 16, 2012 – I was at the firehouse after work to catch up on some paperwork and I received a text from my cousin “I’m at the field u free”, well I had about an hour before I had to pick up my daughter from an after school program so I headed home grabbed my detector and mud boots and met up with him. This field had been turned over in the spring and I was able to get a hunt in before the corn was planted and found three pre-civil war military buttons. Knowing I had a short amount of time I stayed in a small area where I found those buttons put the E-Trac in TTF and went slow overlapping every swing. My first hole produced a flat button, second a small concaved button, third hole a copper coin and last a piece of an eating utensil?. Then I had to stop and make my way back through the mud to my truck so I wouldn’t be late picking up my daughter.
On Wednesday evening I finally got a chance to clean up my finds; The flat button has nothing on the face, but a very interesting eagle back mark that I am still investigating. The coin is 1771 KGIII in fairly identifiable condition.
