Hello Friends,

Just a quick post of a few finds from a new site. My brother john37115 has his ankle a bit jacked up so he couldn't go today. I decided to go for a couple hours and scout this 500 acre pre-civil war homestead we got permission to hunt recently. The owner came by and picked me up in his truck so he could show me property lines, a couple springs and some other points of interest. He told me of 4 guys with detectors coming a few years back and hunting here. He said they never found much of anything to his knowledge. :icon_scratch: He said they spread out about 30 feet apart and went all over the fields. Then he pointed out a spot where he said they gathered and hunted pretty hard. After about half an hour of riding around he brought me back and went on to tend to his cows. I thought well I believe I'll check out the spot these guys supposedly hammered. With less than an hour before dark, I made my way back to the area and started getting iron signals in every swing. Long story short I set my xl pro for a deep hunt and moved slowly. I Managed to pluck a couple nice finds out before I had to make my way back to the truck. I look forward to getting with brother John asap and returning. This site looks so perfect I can't wait. Next time I'll take some pics of the landscape. Check out the Gilt on the one flat button.

We've got plenty of land to hunt that's for sure. It was promising to pluck the old flats.
 

Looks like some great finds. I hope your brother's ankle gets better.

All right Kirk, You are right , the gilted button sure is special but I can see where it would have made the ole ticker skip a beat or two. Keep up the good work and keep working that superior machine of yours. :wink:

Yes Sir Zeus, the golden gilt excited me for a moment, being there wasn't any new trash in the area I was hunting and I'd already found the first worn flat button. :o :tard: :D Whites XL Pro is a He** of a machine For Sure!

nice button! Do you know the year of the button yet? I hope its old! :thumbsup:

Yep it's an old one Early 1800's
 

Nice finds...kinda makes you wonder what the four other detectorists 'didn't find'....
 

awesome man! you guy's continue to amaze me with your finds and research! i've been on some civil war era places lately and finding some decent buttons and stuff, i'm really starting to develope a taste for these buttons though they are so cool. ;D keep em comin!
 

Kirk,
Nice job on that "hunted hard" area. ;D Those finds would give me a LOT of hope that they sure missed some good stuff. :thumbsup:
Beautiful gilt button.
Congrats & good luck on your next outing,
MM
