I was able to get out to a field that a family friend gave me permission to hunt last year, which I did and thought I hit it hard..... boy was I wrong! It was one of my best days yet, the field has very little trash besides old iron so signals are few and far between but when you finally do get one its usually a keeper. I had found a few buckles, musket balls and an coin that was too worn to identify there last year but it seemed that this field didnt have much to offer last year. Yeaterday turned out to be decent weather so I decided to give the field another shot with my new GT. Im not one to agree that one machine easily out-performs another, but the GT has me believing it now. In a matter of 3 hours I had 2 colonial buckles, a 1941 quarter, 3 musket balls, a nice 180? ( cant read last number) one cent, my first of this variety and.... my big score was a Washington inaugural button, its not in the best of shape but it has always been on my top ten list of things I wanted to find in this hobby. It appears to be the plain GW variety, which is very rare. If anyone has advice on what my next step with this button should be let me know, I dont know if I should have it professionally examined or what, and who does that kind of thing. Anyway Ill be heading there again tomorrow so Ill let you know if anything else turns up. Im not sure if the pictures came up or not, if not ill try again.
