You never know what you’re going to find until you dig it up. I thought I was about to dig another button. (18) on the NOX usually is. However, that all changed when I saw this little guy pop out. Sure looks like an early drop.

Enjoy!

You never know what you’re going to find until you dig it up. I thought I was about to dig another button. (18) on the NOX usually is. However, that all changed when I saw this little guy pop out. Sure looks like an early drop.

Enjoy!

You sure are on a major roll with some of these incredible finds- Congrats!! I'm about to start year #32 and have yet to find a 3-center of either type- I do feel the Nox is going to nab me one this year.
