Detector(s) used
AT Pro, Whites Coin Master Pro, Bounty Hunter Lonestar, Minelab CTX
Primary Interest:
All Treasure Hunting
After the snow melted and the ground thawed it was just too wet to detect. We made a trip the other day and things dried out a little.
The boy and I both were finding flat buttons working through all the iron in the ground. Most the buttons were small so it was tricky.
On two different hunts earlier the boy and I each found a piece of an old pewter spoon.I found the middle section and the boy found the end on the handle end. On this hunt today the boy found the spoon end, all 3 pieces were found scattered over a small area
Away from our big copper and flat button area the kid found a small thimble and then a 47 Rosie along the bank of the one pond. The water level was down so the dime would have been laying in about 3 foot of water where it was found.

I also found 3 wheats, two 1919's and a 1930. The one 1919 is the greenish penny I've ever found.

Some pics.

Where pewter buttons hang out so too does other good stuff like spanish silver.
 

Killer button score, probly my favorite to find next to old coins of course

Great hunt
 

sounds like an old spot with lots of potential and son will have a life long memory.
 

Awesome colonial finds, check the pewter buttons for anything, they could be Continental Army.

The pewter buttons are pretty toasted looking.
