Yesterday I finally decided it was time to move on to a new spot. I've been working the same tired piece of ground since I began detecting a year and a half ago. As hard as it is to leave a good spot I decided it was time to walk up the driveway and begin workin' some new turf.
So I crossed the street. The guy who owns this fifty acre piece doesn't live on the property, but says I can hunt it anytime. Only drawback is he says only I can hunt it. I'm gonna give him some of my finds, maybe in time he'll let me bring a friend or two, I've just found a couple of local guys interested in hunting. This place is half woods half pasture, it's got a spring fed creek on one side and a wet weather creek on the other, both creeks cross the road to my place. He's got several huge fields like this one. I was afraid this area would have been hunted out by another local detectorist, but turns out it's full of good finds!
First find was this flat button, There is some modern trash here but not much (found my first pulltab!!).
I was only here for about two hours yesterday afternoon, dug a ton of targets. I can't wait to get back, maybe tomorrow afternoon.
This eagle button was one of my better finds. Found another eagle cuff too, but in bad shape.
Here's the keepers. Found my first brass carbine sling belt tip, a bunch of flat buttons, two Zouave buttons, 2 eagles, harmonica reed, several good bullets, and of course, some whatzits. As always, thanks for lookin' and i.d.in'.
