Hello ALL!

I have to say I've never been so excited to dig pull tabs... or anything for that matter... Its been a long long winter here in Southern New England...

I did get out later this afternoon to a park I've worked over the last 3 years... There is still plenty there I'm sure :-)

This button was a pretty solid 12/35, but not super smooth... but it repeated both ways... 5 range...

Looks like: Albert CT13A1 Button depicts Connecticut state seal symbolism, grape vines with Latin inscription, He who transplanted continues to sustain, intended for troops of Connecticut units. Backmark: SCOVILL MF'G CO. / (star) WATERBURY. (star) rmdc on stippled background, ca 1850's, (ScovillM210). Two part convex button, coat size. Nondug button, gilded, stand up shank.

Next up was an iffy 7 target... But once I the plug was out... 12/46 was ringing in my ears :-) Nice silver to start out the year...

5 feet away from the Barber was this 8 target that sounded like a quarter as well... but not consistent and was only good one way... but I'm glad I recovered it :-)

Can't wait to get back out!

Happy Hunting :-)

Congrats Paul on an early hunt. :peace:
Love the button and Barber. :yes:
It doesn't take much to make an early season hunt satisfying... and you did much better than 'doesn't take much'.
Congrats and I am looking forward to your posts this season.
