Finally got to go and do some detecting at our colonial site. me and sonny started detecting and i got a good signal and out came this nice military button not sure off the date of the button. on the back it says superior strong plated. here is a few pictures of me digging it out, and some pictures of sonny out in the field.
Any feed back on how old the button is would be appreciated.
