[size=large]Got out detecting this evening for a while. Went by myself again. Used to be I always went by myself, but now I have some people that like me... go figure. And I get to go with them sometimes.[/size]

[size=large]Anyway, after about an hour of digging junk I finally got an old pocket knife, and then got a deep signal I was barely picking up. Opened the hole and pulled the plug out, and the signal got better. Ended up being my first Union staff officer's button; its a very high button, so high in fact that it literally has sides to it with about 28 stars around the sides, and stars across the top of the shield.[/size]
