will do!

Hi everybody. Summer in central Va. so haven't been out to hunt for CW relics but bought some miscellaneous stuff at an auction and found this button. It's got what appears to be a Japanese battle flag, a soldier and some what I think are Japanese characters. I've googled it but can't find...

learn your machine, hunt slowly and find good spots

Nice! still looking for my first one!

Found this new austrian in an area where mostly US three ringers and enfields have been found. Bullets don't usually get me too worked up but it's a little unusual. Thanks for looking and happy hunting!

nice job on finding the bullet, hope there are many more in your future!
