Arlington welcomed me with open arms of silver and gold. My first day out was a 5 silver day :hello2: My second day out was a lake hunt that was a 5 gold and 1 silver day :icon_pirat: And my third day out was in Fort Worth. I thought it was a 1 small silver day. I also found a cool button. It looked old and was dirty so I put it in my pouch. When I got home I put it in some vinegar. About 15 minutes later I came to check on it and :notworthy:GOLD! A gold button! I don't know any thing about it, so any info on type and age would be greatly appreciated.
