Hello everyone,
I found a site that is log cabin that used to be a school, the log cabin was built in 1774. I am sure that this place was previously hunted by former metal detectorists. But as they say no place is ever hunted out and I seem to prove that saying true. I was griding small sections of the property when I got a nice nickel signal. First coin I found at this site was a Buff. Next signal right next to the buff only a few inches over was a warranted double gilt flat button. Still griding a small area Now in the back of log cabin I got a strong dime hit at only 5 inches deep turned out to be a 1961d dime. Low n slow I covered the back inching my way I got 12-40 signal at 5 inches deep a few feet from the dime. When I pinpointed the target it seemed like it was bigger than a coin or screwcap. I decided I was digging every signal that was repeatable. After opening the plug I saw what looked to be a big flat button, using my pinpointer to recheck the hole I unearthed 11 more flat buttons out of the same hole. I couldn't believe my eyes. Wow a colonial spill of Tombac buttons!! After finishing griding the front I ended up getting another good dime signal a 1947 dime at 4 inches deep. I only found a few modern coins not worth mentioning. All in all turned out to be one hell of a hunt! Good luck to all and happy hunting!!
