60 buttons in one hole!!!! Flying eagle &IHP spill.then a 2 cent piece, 1818 large ce

First group of photos are the spill. Crazy just pulling handfuls of flat buttons out of the ground. The Artillery button is my favorite. The spill was the last hole of the day took about 20 minutes to get them all. Not sure if someone hid them or lost them? I was probably 50’ away from the cellar hole on another elevated part of the property parallel with the old wagon trail.











The next pictures are my other finds of the day. Scored my first flying eagle!!!2 cent piece was a nice surprise too. What a fun day! Hope you all are healthy. Thanks for the look.

My Great Grandmother had a button jar - outgrown and worn clothing got the buttons snipped off. Lose or break a button off and you don't have a match? Take them all off and replace from the button jar. Why waste money?

Wow. That must have been wild! I've heard of people finding lots of buttons concentrated near old mill sites. I guess they would burn old clothes there and discard the buttons in piles for scrap and sometimes they didn't grab them all. Maybe that's what happened?

That is just crazy ! I would love to dig all of those buttons. Congrats on your first Flying Eagle. I only have one of those in 30 years of detecting. They are a hard coin to come by.

Exactly. Farmers gotta do what farmers gotta do.

Serious button bonanza! What a cool find especially an 1812 button. That could help date your button spill!
