Somehow this button has managed to elude me all this time with many being found just next to me . A great day out and best of all I got to share the moment with my 8 year old son , who is well on his way with much enthusiasm and love for the hobby. Looking forward to seeing what he finds over the years. Just wanted to share with everyone. Thanks!

That's a beautiful button! Congrats! It's funny when I first started detecting I thought to myself: buttons what's the big deal? I now understand... I don't find them too often but I really enjoy it when I do and especially if there is something about the button one can look up.

Thanks! Unfortunately no shank, this particular type of Sunburst are know to have weak shank attachment. Have seen a few with shanks but not often. Thanks again!!

Sweet button indeed! I am still looking for my first CW button. For now any CW button will do.

Go figure, my sons first and only CW button was the NC sunburst. What are the odds?
