Almost Duplicate Hunt Of This Morning's

I decided to go back to the field this afternoon, sans boxers ( and no, Abe, I wasn't naked detecting lol ). Had another hunt just like the morning one, but I did find a much older flat button this time. Beautiful plain one with shank still intact! I like this one!
Dirty pics again:




The round balls were .526", 223 grains and .592" and 344 grains. The flat button is 23 mm. Probably my best flat button so far. Cleaned pics:



I almost forgot. Last Christmas evening, I took the dogs for a walk to this same area of the field and found something that was ID'ed a few months later when Bill D ( Va ) found the same thing. Was part of where the handle for a brass kettle attached. I believe the part I found today was from that same old kettle. It's the "eye" piece in the pics.

You're slowly but surely finding the goods in them fields, you're making it difficult for me not being able to get out!

Nah, just kidding, great button, that's an early one!

Are you positive you can't get back out this year lol? You haven't been to this field. It is huge! I believe this button is very old too.

Well even if I can't I'm sure I'll get a chance to hit that field w ya before the spring crop gets planted

 

[Old Dude]

You betcha. Maybe yours will be cut then too, lol.

Nope Gary. Was about 6 inches deep. When it fell out of the dirt, I thought it was an old coin with the patina on it. Then when I rubbed the dirt away and saw nothing, and turned it over, rubbed that dirt off, I felt the shank and was just as happy, lol.

I'm going to have to stop viewing this on my iPad. I still can't see the dirty pictures.

Maybe because they were posted on an IPad, lol.
