I just found a similar button but with a different back. It's an Army great seal button. You can do a search on here for a thread with lots of info on it. Greatcypresshunter has a pretty good list going of all the varieties. According to what I read, yours is a later version that has the raised rim....like mine.

Welcome. While it doesn't always seem like it, there are tons of women on Tnet and out there detecting. Its a wonderful and addictive hobby.

Yea, my first time was all it took for me too.....Now its 6 weeks in and I already have 3 detectors and another planned for the end of the year....Good luck with your new addiction....

Welcome and glad you enjoy the hobby! Good luck and HH!
One could have much worser addictions, than ours!

Hey, could there be a new slogan there? Metal detecting: Get hooked on it!
