Popular Post dogodog Posted April 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2023 Had to pick my dog up from the vet at 4:00pm today, So I thought detecting was down the tubes. Thats when my wife called and said we had to pick up Bleu at 7:00. Poor pup, But that gave me about 45 minutes to hit a colonial house I detected a 1000 times. This place is the gift that keeps on giving. I decided to dig all strange tones and Id's. I'll make this as short as my hunt. First target was a flat button, Second was a shotshell base, Third was a 45 wheatie, fourth was a 22mag case, Fifth was a flashlight bulb and Last but not least was a fabulous sleeve button. This button is pretty rare and I doubt I will find another. It is a Tallio and dates back to around the 1770's. PS this was a 10 - 11 on the 800. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Great to see some relics, Doggo. My season for that is pretty done, but having someone nail even one cool thing is vicarious pleasure. ? It ain't the machine, it's the operator. Bravo again. ? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogodog Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 Thanks Bob, The last cool colonial thing I dug was that KGl a month ago. But you have us all beat with the fancy James 1st sixpence or should I say threepence since it was cut in half, HA HA. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 A humble statement from the Pine Tree shilling guy ? I'll never catch ya man, but it's fun to try. ? Can't believe the stuff you find. Props. ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Scout Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 That's a cool find. I just found a button too. It's the fourth overall button to come out of my yard. Mountaineer and it matches one of the other. I think it's from the seventies like yours. Except maybe the 1970's. The others maybe from the forties. My wife found the woman's button. Love to be able hunt around a colonial. Idaho just doesn't have metal buttons from the 1770's. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogodog Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 LS, those are some good button's. It doesn't come down to what you find, Its your memories of where you found it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Nice find and we all know that you have taken some lessons from 350 to be able to get some of your items. I really don't know which one of you does better than the other one, as we all read your stories and see all the wonderful items brought back to the land of the living. I wish both of you good luck and a wonderful year of hunting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
