    Had a few minutes before dark

    Went to a nearby school for a few minutes. It was starting to get dark and I got a couple of hits on the way out of the playground. I was surprised to see that one of the pennies was a 1912. Also got an unusual button. I don't have a clue what the writing is or if it's worth anything.

    Figured out the mystery. The words are "Es Devs Spes Nostra" or "God Is Our Hope" in latin. Appears to be a copy of a Hessian military button.
