Good Morning! its me again! I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming after last nights quick 1.5 hour hunt. 2023 was a slow year of detecting. when I say slow, I mean with finds. my buddy and I would go out almost every weekend and detect. but the end of 2023 has been very generous...
Hi all, new to the site and hoping to get some ID help. I did browse through a bit and saw that there seem to be some members with a lot of knowledge about Horstmann buttons. From the backmark I am assuming this one is circa 1890s based on my reading but I am more curious to know if anyone...
Been trying to identify it and really want to be able to figure out what it is/when it's from. I'm scared to clean it to much but this is what I found.... a Flat Eagle button with a shield (I'm pretty sure lol). THANK YOU for all the help. Found in Virgina, if that helps.
these are some more finds from my 1800's abandoned town site. Where i have found civil war military relics the soldier brought home and so much more.
I'm fairly certain #1 is a trigger guard, but from what? Rifle or pistol? could this be a military issue weapon someone brought home to go...
First hunt this year!! Haven't been detecting for a long time. So pumped that my first night out was a success!!
Any guess on age for this vintage looking silver ring? And what about this button?
Please comment if you have info. Thanks!
My husband found this button in our cow field today in VA! I can’t find much info on it, but finally saw it says “Solidite Paris” on the back. The front says “H.G Fledderman” and something else like “Dalto” ? I can’t read it well.
Any info or history on timeframe of this or where it would’ve...
So happy to find this website today. This is my first post here so if I need to add other pics, please let me know.
I found this outside my house today. I’d love to find out approximate age for this button. Our house was built in 1900 and we have been finding some cool things over the last 6...
Hello everyone,
Found this button a few years back. I’ve had a few button group look at it and it’s apparently the only example found in the US, another example was found in Europe.
It reads “Irish Volunteers”
Any idea what it’s worth? And is it really that rare?
Found these today, anyone have information on the silver cuff button? Can’t seem to find the maker mark
Mystery solved! The button is from the Kingdom of Sardinia, 800/1000 Silver used from 1824-1872
Delayed start to the day as heavy rain in the morning, but never daunted we decided to drive over to the field of dreams and see how it went.
Well, what can I say, this is the same field as last week, but we went up into a corner near the pond, that we hadn’t really done, the stubble is...
I'm thinking this is an old snap button with maybe part of the old leather coat still between the 2 pieces??? Approx 1/2 inch in diameter. Could anyone help me with what I have here and give me a date/use/name? Thanks as always!

Heavy rain on and off yesterday so got up early today to make sure we got some fresh air, the rain held off so we actually got a whole day in!
Went back to the fields adjacent to last week on top of the hill. Got the usual mix, of buttons, 3 lead weights, some buckles, musket balls, and 2...
What a perfect day today was, last day of our holiday and it could not of been nicer. We went back to yesterday’s stubble field …. not sure what you will make of todays mixed bag, but I loved every second of it!
beautiful crotal bell, complete, lovely button, including one with an anchor on...
At last the rain stopped and although cold and windy we headed out to some stubble fields… and are we glad we did! Lots of pottery across the field so hopes were high…. Yep 2 hammered for me… think one is a Charles 1 (1641 ) the other not sure… seems to have shields on both sides… nice lead...
Today dawned bright and sunny, so detecting was on! We went back to the same field as last time, as himself needed to take delivery of his new headphones (the previous ones didn’t fit 😂) and this field is about 5 mins from his house!
A musket ball, lead weight, lots of buttons, a buckle, 2...
