Buttons, Buckles And... Silver?

[F350Platinum]

What a nasty day, warmest it ever got was 45 degrees, and it rained on and off most of the morning.

Manticore and M15 today, haven't used this combo here so I was hoping for some low conductors.

I invited Chase down, we've been hoping to get back to this field for almost 2 years now. Too bad we had to have a day like today where everything came together, but we've done worse.

I got there about 9, did recon on other permissions before going there, and made sure to check with the landowner to see if it was ok to return, he seemed almost happy to have us. 

Chase got stuck in Thanksgiving traffic so he didn't get there until about 11, so I stayed in the newer areas of the farm to give him an equal chance, and it worked out well for me as you'll see.

Junk wasn't too bad today, no iron but all the usual stuff. The large deer slugs were 93! 🙄

Got this lovely 85 in my travels, and dug yet another of the bane of detectorists, the small bronze washer. 🫤 Hate these things. 

Overall I did fairly good! 3 Tombacs, a couple silvered buttons, bits of buckle, odd shaped broken stuff, some horse tack, a 1944 wheat and a clad quarter. 10 buttons total.

This is my 9th straight hunt with a silver find:

A Standing Liberty silver quarter with no date, it's extremely worn, even has no reeding on the side. 

I'm sure we will have better days to go here, all in all it wasn't bad despite the weather.

More good work F350! That's a big site, more to come out of there I am sure.

I hope to, but I'll be glad if I come home with anything! 😬

Thanks Lodge, 

The entire farm is 500 acres, about 300 of which are open field. One side is corn stalks, we've been wanting to get on this side and thankfully the beans were cut short. We have definitely found a little bit of everything here, from the 1600s to current.

Silver is Silver...worn or not!  😁  Keep going soldier.....

Hello @F350Platinum. Since you don't like the rusty silver, I would be happy to take it off your hands.😉😁

Congratulations on the silver series. Glad you had a successful treasure hunt.

All The Best & Have Fun 🍀🤞

Thanks Locator,

Kind words, appreciate them. 🙂 I always have fun detecting regardless of the finds, just have a lucky streak right now. 

It would probably cost more than it's worth to mail it 😏

This is the third SLQ I've found in the last 3 hunts. Guess I still have Karma from all those ring returns. 🤷‍♂️

I think you know what they sound like by now!  

Well done on the old and older farm.  Just getting out to cover an area and let yourself know what there is makes it rewarding.  You learn more about the activity areas and some of the spread that occurs.
