    Some Kind of Happy Dance Under The Apple Tree

    Somebody's gonna have to tie my feet to the ground!

    OK...new site....started out on the back 40 by the barn. Got tired of hauling the shovel around and digging great big holes only to find car tags and such had been distributed around, about two feet under. So I headed for the front yard of the house. Was getting late, and I knew the ballgame was coming on at 6:30, so I was trying to hurry around and see what I was in for there. After about 15 minutes I was huntin under one of the old apple trees and dug this BUTTONNNNNN! I was rolling around on the ground like that little baby jenny! My newest favorite find. I thought...I just gotta stay a few more minutes! Dug all kinds of stuff...some stuff I don't even know what it is. Got a wheat and a little tin...kinda like the ones that the Bayer asprin come in. I haven't opened it yet. Somebody PLEASE tell me what the button is for sure. I don't have a clue as to how to clean it properly either. I just ran some water over it and brushed it lightly with a toothbrush. After yesterday's fiasco with that button, I figured I better leave well enough alone. What a day...Nana's so happy.

    Super Nana! I don't know what the button is but one of the guys will come up with it I'm sure.

    As for cleaning I cast my vote for water soak only. I'm now using distilled water soak exclusively.

    Congrats,

    Re: Some Kind of Happy Dance Under The Apple Tree

    Hey Nana.........That is one great find and I think it is older than a union Civil war Eagle buttons that we have seen. The Eagle looks like some of the early buttons in the 1800's .......I will look it up for you shorlty here in some of the books I have....Congrats on an Excellent find!!! I hope its a rare one! Great Pics also.
    Sometimes you need to look back to a time that made you laugh and smile!...... The memories of all the great times..... will always be there!!
