I Found Grampa's Long Lost Button And Quarter!

[Redneck]

Grampas house was torn down 20 years ago, but the land is still in the family.  Every now and then I drop by and detect a section of the property. The lot is loaded with old iron. Its a test of my patience detecting there.  I was using the Manticore with m8 coil,  General program, sens 18, speed @ 8.  The quarter was about 6" deep, notice the iron stains. Date is worn off. 

The button  read out in the quarter range, bouncing from 86 -92, 7"-8" deep.   My grampa was in world war 1, the button was made by the American button co.  The company was in existence from 1902-1920. I have a hunch it came off his army coat, but its only a guess. But its a neat find. The button was in the area of where I remember the clothes line to be. 

I have also found a crotel bell , and a half dozen wheats. The property has been in the family about 120 years. I'm normally a coinshooter, but these family relics are interesting!. 

I also have a nice collection of nails and spikes, which I'd rather not find! It comes with the territory.

It is a special privilege to be able to hunt old family sites & recover some of your past.

Even dateless Standing Liberty quarters aren't easy to find, IMO.  (I've yet to get one.) Even missing the date yours is still an attractive piece of art.   Button appears to be in great shape for being in the ground for who knows how long.  Nice to find a meaningful family heirloom as well.

Clotheslines are great hunting spots.  I've only been able to detect under 3 of them but two of the three paid off with silver and Wheaties.
