Not much but had to post something

Finds are getting sparse in the field I've been hunting. Got 2 rifle balls and a pistol ball along with 3 buttons. That's a ball button in the center. First one I've found with the shank still on it. Those 2 bent nails really sounded silver sweet. Oh well, at least they're old.

As long as I am finding period buttons I am happy. I feel they are the road map to old coins. Were you in conductive sounds? I find that a field is where the ferrous sounds really shines. You don't get the falsing as bad. I do smooth sounds as well ....this keeps the falsing down even further. I think it allows me to cover more ground.

Yes I was in multi tone conductive Dan. I've had some success with 2 tone ferrous, but was using multi conductive today just to see how the Etrac did signaling on targets while in a null. Wished I'd switched to 2 tone ferrous before I dug those nails to see if there would have been a difference. I haven't tried smooth sound response yet. I'll give it a shot next time.

Nice finds dgc. Thanks for the pictures! Looks like a good spot to keep swinging.

Nice finds. I know what you mean about the sweet sounding nails. I dug one today that sounded good in multi-tone conductive and in 2-tone ferrous. I pulled a bent 8" long crusty nail from 9" in the ground. I was hoping it was partially masking a nice quarter or dime with the nice sounds I was getting. No such luck--just the rusty nail.

Thanks for posting and keep diggin'.
