Rare MAINE STAFF COAT BUTTON, 1876 KING RAMA V Coin, 1845 Large Cent, & more

Hey Y'all. Here's my latest finds from the last two digs at a couple of my colonial/civil war sites. I dug my first Maine Staff in all my years of digging! This is a VERY HARD Civil War button to find as there weren't very many soldiers from Maine who fought in the Civil War in relation to other states (because it was sparsely populated at the time). In all my years digging for Civil War relics I've never seen one dug and only heard about one. Also, I pulled 4 coppers out of the ground this past week (including the V.H.P) one of which is a mystery copper. Its larger than a Large Cent and looks like it is probably an 1800s Copper but I haven't I.D.ed yet. Also got a very nice Bone Handled Civil war era pocket knife and 2 Ringer Bullet.. Here's the pics.

*Maine Staff Coat Button
*1845 Large Cent
*1852 Large Cent
*1876 King Rama the Fifth of Thailand Copper Att Coin
*3 General Service Eagle Buttons
*1 H.N.I But. (Hampton Normal Institute--where they sent the Indians from the Plains to become "Civilized")
*1 Very Large Underwear/pants button
*1 Civil War Era Bone Handled Knife
*3 Ringers, (hard to find) 2 Ring-Burnside and Colt
*Kepi Buckle, Sling Buckle and Harmonica Reeds
*Silver Dime, Nickel, and Sterling Cuff Link

Would you care to share how you clean your buttons? I thought I've tried every trick in the book but never get them looking that good. Unbelievable finds! Congratulations.

:icon_scratch: :icon_scratch: :dontknow:

Can someone explaine why this Button is not on the Banner :help: there have been plenty of votes :icon_scratch: Mainer said it's the only one that has been posted on Treasure Net :icon_scratch: The title says RARE MAIN STAFF COAT BUTTON,
Being from the UK I know little of this Button, apart from the Great condition, and what the outhers have said.
Just seems odd that it is not up top :dontknow:

Wow, Wow, Wow! That is an awesome button. PM me and I will give you my address so you can send it back home to Maine!

You got my banner vote on this one! How did you clean it? I can never get buttons to look that good.
