Todays Finds with the 800

[Dan(NM)]

I was able to get back to the CW site today and was able to pick up a couple of first's for me from this place. The Great Coat button and the A button have eluded me since I started hunting the place. Finally the button god had mercy and bestowed it's graces upon me twice. I was hunting an area that I had gone over before, but, this time I went east to west instead of north to south. All the targets were a dig me, no doubt about it hits( I suck) just flat missed them. The bottom button is a 1 piece and looks older than the others, I cannot tell if there's anything on it or not.

My settings were....

Park 2

Recovery 5

Iron bias 2

Sens 19

Auto GB

No disc

2 Tones

Tone break from-9 to +8

11" coil

The 1 piece may be pewter, it randgup a solid 13, the other cuff buttons came in at 17-18, the GC at 21-22

The fort was occupied from 1851-1862

Outstanding finds. Changing directions for a re hunt is always a good strategy on a tough site. Keep it going.
