First time out this year and

[RICHARD/CANADA]

It's been a few years since I have posted and I have only detected a few times. I got out last week for the first time this year and it sure felt good. I think the gods are telling me that I need to hunt more. I couldn't believe when I found a coat size Butlers Rangers button in this condition. I have been really lucky with Butlers Rangers buttons in the past but I have never found a coat size in this condition. Hopefully I can get out again before the snow hits.

Here is some information on the Butlers Rangers.

Butlers Rangers buttons are extreamly rare. A coat size in undamaged condition is worth as much as $2000.00
