Old Button Other Side?


Recommended Posts

Haven't post much lately, haven't done a lot of detecting and haven't found anything worth posting unless you count clad but thought this might be interesting.

I have been doing some cleanup hunting with my Tejon, slow methodic sweeps in areas that are pretty cleaned out. I basically run my primary disc to break on a cut nail and 2nd disc I will run it lower than a tab. Any crackle hits I swipe in a couple of directions to see if it comes in clean or if I still get a hit with the alt disc (mixed targets). All faint fringe targets I will dig and generally ignore loud flat shallow targets.

Last year on a hill side about 10" down I found this civ war naval button. Was just the front.IMG_1757.thumb.JPG.1d145493f4ec16bdbb23fbe00d2deb3b.JPG

This year at the bottom of the hill where I found a gold ring and yellow diamond I got another hit but not as deep.

Remembering where I found the button and location of this back I believe they are the same button.

Back is badly degraded but seems to be the right back for that button and there are not a lot of them in the area.

Looks like you have reunited the button to what it was when it was lost.

Good work on your part to keep things right.

Good luck on your next hunt.
