I am happy to say that my last hunt of 2012 was one of my best. I dug my FIRST EVER offsite Bingham school button! This has been a goal of mine for a WHILE! On top of the button, I "dug" my very first offsite Bingham School Buckle! I found with eyes another on this site that another hunter had discarded as scrap! My other finds were two different toe plates, a pair of cool brass keys, a brass keyhole, some early glass, and a piece of NATIVE AMERICAN POTTERY!

The button front was dug first, and I recognized the backmark as a BS button, so I knew the front could be nearby. I started filming when I got a signal about a foot away from the button back, dug it, and it was the front! Enjoy the pictures!
