January finds
Hello folks,
I haven't posted much lately, so I thought I'd post the January digs. We dug a few cool Tombac buttons along with a very nice late 1700 Flower Dandy button.
Thanks for looking!

That is a mighty fine USMC button in the second photo! What does the back of it look like?

Thanks! It's a Dan Evans Back Mark. I dug most of the coat a few years back. I went back to the site recently and found the last one. Thanks for looking

Re: January finds
Judging from the rope end extending to the left, instead of the right, it is a WW2 button at minimum. I believe that is considered the "droop wing" eagle. 1925-1936

Nice find. If I am wrong, some one out there please correct me.

Yes, they are 5 point. That style was used during the CW as well, but after researching it suggests a modern type judging on the Quality mark
