VOL-1266X and I went back to one of our favorite hunting sites. It has been hunted hard for over 20 years, but we have always been able to find a few bullets or buttons each time we visit the battlefield. We hunted for a couple of hours and my first was a .58 cal. bullet. Then I found the .69 cal. bullet. Both were about 7 inches deep. Later, I got a faint iffy signal and decided to dig it. At about 10 inches, I pulled out a nice Eagle I button. It was cool this morning but well worth it.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Awesome finds, CW relics are so cool. They are hard to come by here in NH although I have found a few buttons.

I was feeling sorry for you last week until you found the Tenn veterans pin. I will never feel sorry for you again. ;D
