A button banaza A.K.A. call me a spokesman for Garrett

[Ninjafossils]

I have been to this one site in the neighborhood that has given finds of a huge variety, ranging from the late 1700s to contemporary America. There are three trash dumps throughout this woods, ranging from the late 1800s to the 1950s, a large cement basement foundation, and a ton of rock walls and even remains of what were likely small stone buildings and animals pens. I have been to this place at least a few dozen times and had learned that the cement structure was nearly void of finds and that the areas near the dumps were more promising. I have recovered about a dozen flat buttons from this place and had thought that I had cleaned it out. BUT that was with the ACE 250. Now with the AT Pro I planned to take on the woods yet again. I figured everywhere was fair game, so I started by the cement foundation. Suddenly, I started getting faint signals mixed with iron, and began to pull flat buttons. I thought "Great!" The only thing curious...I found as many flat buttons today as I had ever found in the years prior, all within a 20ft area no less. Then I found my favorite find: two thirds of a great colonial shoe buckle. I'll try to find the rest next time. But until then I must advise that as soon as you upgrade your machine (hopefully to a Garrett), go to your old sites and give it another look. I guarantee you'll find some treasure.


10 flat buttons in like two hours.


BIG ASS DANDY


A mystery...maybe a cattle tag??





Gotta find that other third.

I remember my big jump from my Ace 250 to my AT Pro, it opened up another world on the same sites. Nice buttons Nijafossils ,now go back there right after a soaking rain where you found the buttons and see what you find? I love my AT Pro, it hasn't seen my hand in about a month now, but I still love it.
We could go on for days which machines are the best, in the right hands just about any machine could be the best. Same site, same machine, different day, different soil conditions, different direction, can make a HUGE difference.

The mystery bit is the back of an 18th C Reign Guide. The 'U' shaped bit went on top & fixed with iron throw the 2 holes.
