Windy hunt yields a nice button today...

[fwcrawford]

I got permission to detect around an old house site and decided to try it today.
It was very windy, but not cold, but very slow.
I found a few flat buttons and near the end of the day I found this one.
I usually do not find them in this condition, but very happy at how it cleaned up.
Thanks for looking!
