Started off the very sucky with my g-ma landing herself in the hospital :'(. So the family and I went to visit her for a hr or so. As I was thier my brother and mom showed up and asked what my plan was for the day. I said nothing today why whats up. So my bro and mom invited me and the boys up to do some detecting and lunch up north. So being cold out and the chance to hit the two houses why not. Glad that I did 30 min trip up north I scored this nice old button :icon_thumleft: at my moms house and was 6 inches down lots of clad and a few wheaties from the two house all together.

The button is gold color with a soldier holding a flag and rifle, eagle above holding a ribbon and the ribbon has lettering
