DEEP TOMBAC

[sniffy]

Today I got about an hour block of time to myself. So I hopped in the jeep and headed to a site that I'd nailed pretty hard in the past few months. Only this time I was running the DFX at full blast....everything peaked right out. I was very happy to dig this button at 9-10 inches deep. This is my first tombac with the shank still intact. Awesome. I start work tommorow so I won't be able to post as much. I know its only a button, but I'm thrilled to death with it.

It's a Tombac alright lol They clean up real nice too :yes: Sometimes I wish our coppers were made from that material. What a collection we would have then. Nice button.
