Dave and I received an invite from a great Kid named John. He lives in Mass and wanted to hunt with us on some privately owned property that is in his family. When I heard "Private Property" my mind began seeing visions of sugar plums:daydream:
The 1st site was tucked just behind a field stone wall adjacent to a large open field and was barely visible to the naked eye. Within the 1st few mins a got a very iffy signal that sounded good from one angle and bad from another. Four inches later and out pops a pair of colonial brass cuff links that still had an intact figure eight iron link:cool:
Buttons, buttons, and more buttons were popping out of the ground and a total of 24 found their way under my coil. We started wondering when coins would start showing themselves and that's when John called me over to help him locate a target. As I was making my way towards him, I got a nice signal, marked it with my lesche, then continued on to help John. Back to where I marked that signal, I pulled out the 1st and only coin from the site. It was a 1729 or 1739 KG II with a gorgeous patina.
A while later, I stopped to chat with Dave and when I turned to walk away from him, I got a low Vdi target that I assumed was going to be another tombac. To my surprise I found a Revolutionary War pewter button sitting in my palm. It seems to be a 2nd Regiment Mass button but I need to confirm this. It is my 1st Rev War button dug:happydance01: Later on after finding a shoe buckle frame I noticed dark setting in bringing an end to the day but a few more sweeps of the coil was when I heard a high vdi target that sounded more like an Indian head penny. Then I saw an octagon shape with a shiny edge at the bottom of the hole and pulled out my 2nd set of cufflinks on the day but this time they were silver!:shocked05: What a great day of hunting which was all made possible by John sending us the invite:clapping:
