I had a Great Seal Button hunt today. 3.75 hours worth around an abandoned house. Someone must have discarded a U.S Military Uniform. As you can see I didn't skip many signals.
This hunt was a gimme.
A friend/coworker that has always been interested in what I find called me on 6-15-15 and said he had an old house for me to detect if I was interested.
When I got there on 6-17 I checked all the usual spots for coins first. Between the house and driveway. Around trees in the front yard. Only found a house penny. Whoever hit it was very good. I decided to try and find somewhere that hadn't been searched. I found it to the right of the out building in the house picture. I found the first GS button there and it made my day. Then another one, then the small one was third I think. Then another one. I got so into it that if someone had walked up and said something I would not have known it. I lost count and was only concentrating on the next button. I didn't know if I had 5, 6 or 7 buttons until I got home and dumped my pouch.
By the markings on the back of the buttons they were made during WW I.
That small button is a real prize and I'm going back to look for it's mate.
