My buddy and I were hunting a old homesite in Central, VA. I was fortunate to dig this on my fourth hole.

Good GRIEF! Holy COW! Wowsuh! My hat is off to you. The stuff of dreams . . .

Thanks, Had to google it on my phone in the woods. Found many relics in my years but never this one!

Is this the same button that was posted in several threads a couple weeks ago and posted in Charlotte Craigslist? The pic looks familiar.

What a awesome button big congrats

 

[dirt listener]

Yup...that would be the button. The economy is forcing my hand on this one.....

 

[relic nut]

Great find! Won't see many of them. That's the kind of find that gets your blood pumping and keeps you going back.

Trust me, un-hit plantation in the middle of nowhere....not a dig hole anywhere. Heel plates, dress weights, flats, A's...I bet there are two more of these beauties. This one is perfect other than no shank and no gilt.

Awesome find! Congratulations.

 

[dirt listener]

I will leave this for awhile then lock it. This is for Todays finds not a couple weeks ago.
You may discuss it in your original post
Thanks
P.s
Nice Button!

Sorry guys....Greg is my friend who invited me on the land where I found this and is helping sell the button. I havent been on this site for awhile and thought I'd post. Sorry for any problems. HH
