    Virginia button

    Thought I'd start off my first post with a find of a nice one I dug a couple weeks ago. Been hunting this farm off and on for a couple years now but have found mostly just a big variety of bullets.
    I decided to hunt a grass area that runs between the plowed field and the dirt road beside it. Within minutes this beauty popped out.
