Found it, lost it, then found it again!!!

[Garabaldi]

Hello all,
Went to an old spot that I havent been to in months. Found this spot when I first bought my detector. I had found a Light Artillery, 1st Regimen, war of 1812 button. I put it down to see what it had come up as on the M6 and either forgot to pick it up or dropped it thinking I put it in my pouch. I was heart broken when I got home and discovered that I did not have it. I had gone back many times to try and find it but no luck. Today was my lucky day because it was sitting right on top of the surface. I think it came up as a nickle. I looked down and thought it was just that until I saw the LA 1. Boy was I excited. I also found a nice 1899 Barber Dime, 1891 IH penny, cool looking pottery and I nice scoville extra fine button, but half of the front is missing. I am going to put it on what is it. I think my butt and fingers were going to fall off by the end of my hunt. It was abotu 12 degrees out. Yikes...
Happy hunting.

I didn't faint, but obsessed and checked my pouch, truck, pouch again, then truck again, then my pouch and truck etc..............
Thanks for all the comments.

Crazy when that happens, a person can look and look, and not find it. Then bang there it is again. Great looking finds you got, sweet patina on the button.

That was really luck. Finding the button again. I left my knife in the ground last year near this ball field and went back couple days later and it was still where I left it.
Very nice coin finds.

Ah man, so glad you found it again. I would have been heart broken too if I had lost that. Great find....again.

 

[Garabaldi]

Thanks all.
Finding it the second time had more meaning.

Nice finds. I did that with a mercury dime once. I lost it then about a week later I found it in the same yard on top of the ground.

I did the same thing to a lesser degree when i found and lost this pistol bullet at a camp site. I had forgotten my pouch that day and just stuck it in my pocket i forgot had a hole in it. I remembered the location of the hole and foundthe bullet about 10 feet away

I specifically know the feeling!! Glad you found her!!! I lost an 1812 era, 1st Regt., Artillery button. The Gods of Metal Detecting allowed me to find her again!! I was pulling what little hair I have left out of my head with regret until I got her back!!

Great Find!! And double recovery!!! ;-)

HH,

I'm glad you were able to find that button again. It's not one a person finds everyday.

Too bad you're probably missing the deep ones, masked ones, or those on edge. And you really think I couldn't find buttons in your tracks? Just the fact you are looking at the screen I know you would miss some of mine, because they don't register!
