Was as nice of a late Oct. day as can happen here so I thought it was better to get out and dig a few holes this afternoon than to stay in. Hit some fields I've hunted for over 15 years, but not real hard in recent years, so I was hoping the plow might have turned up a couple more, and just my luck it did. These were the first old sites I have ever hunted so I have some great memories, and given the nice sunny day I was already in my happy place just to be out swinging the coil... the buttons just made it a much happier place! 
Now that's not to be confused with the happiest place where Ironhorse has got this Fall!... but I still have time and want to be there too!
Only managed 3 buttons at the first site in about 2 hours swinging, and that's where I got the pewter 3rd American. Then I switched fields and was getting a little more, but the % were never quite as good at the 2nd site for early military... so it was quite a surprise to see a Rev War 23rd officer button come out of the ground... and as you may, or may not know, the 23rd is quite a historical regt.. Thinking it may just be my best find this Fall as it's only my 3rd Rev numbered button since I started detecting in 1999.
