Va1a Button Day !

[DirtyMike]

Had an hour to dig before it got dark. Me and my digging buddy returned to field where 3 of these have already been found. I got the machine out walked about 20 yards from the truck and got a trashy signal. Pulled the plug and about 8 inches deep among some square nails there it was... Number 4 from the field. Got some flat buttons, 2 thimbles, a cane tip with wood inside, 2 ball buttons, a bullet, and some what is its. Not to shabby for an 1 1/2 hours digging.

All from the same coat, sounds like.

Toothpick method of mine might work well for that button.

They were in the same field but not real close to one another. i know they were training and camping in this field pre war. I am hopeful for a couple more to come out of there. This spot is still producing quite well.
