Got up early and read the forums like usual...56 degrees out, and I was dreading working the water...I swung into that Habitat yard again at sun-up and fired up the 70 to give it another sweep. It had gotten another good raking and some dirt piles sort of scattered down somewhat, grass was not planted, sort of looked like somebody on a quad dragged a small disc through there, and flattened it out with some chain link drag...Hit a 1910 wheat, a 37 buff, some sort of button top, and what I think is a chinese coin! (my first!) [attachment 298701 china..jpg] Not being an expert, I believe its quite old...most likely dates from the 'Park' dynasty, since I can see on the other side what looks like a picnic table next to a pine tree, and theres what looks like a basketball hoop and a teetertotter too..!
[attachment 298700 button.jpg] I believe this button came off of Custers coat, just another guess, and the buffalo was dropped by Dwight Eisenhower when he was a kid....I did make it into the water for a nice long unproductive soak...although I did scoop up a rusty bolt that I figure is part of the Titanic wreckage...

and you may in fact find the rest of the Titanic and Custers coat and sword. Love it when fellow detectorists have a banner hunt. HH jim tn
