Hunted with a couple of buddies from my club today. I've been a little frustrated with my Etrac but someone from another forum sent me a program to use for old coins. So I tried it out today and got this sweet half, 2 wheaties and what looks to be an old button. Anyone have any thoughts on the age of the button?

Nice silver and button there. Looks like we need to hunt together again so I can show you how I run my Etrac. It is a great machine once you get used to it. I hope yours will find you twice as much as mine has found for me :).
