Hooked up for round 2 of the forum members hunt. Today I didn't fare as well as the other day but I always wanted a large designed tombac button and today was the day I guess.finds were slim so,here are my 2 finds lol

Happy New Year everyone!

Dave, Wish I wasn't feeling under the weather and could have joined the A Team today. There are a few more holes in that neighborhood that I might try tomorrow morning, provided I continue to feel okay. I'll be the only detectorist out 7am New Year's morning. :grin: Nice looking button. Hope you guys stayed dry today.
