button

I found this button metal detecting and I just started getting into the hobby. I don’t know much about buttons but I cannot figure out anything about it. It’s a flat button and reads ‘superfine’ on the back with like a floral design at the bottom. I have tried searching but have had no luck...

I found this button at a home in Central/Southern Indiana. At first I didn't know what I had but after cleaning it still has the shank. Unfortunately I can't make out the letter on the back very well. The house has been there since the 1880's or possbily earlier. I found a patent name plate...

I found new site at the park the other day where a home site was located from an 1859 map. I had tried to locate the site couple times before but with no luck. I finally found it. I found an 1860 IH with a square nail hole through it along with an old pin and small gold plated ring a couple...

found this in pittsburgh today can anyone ID it? Looks like a propeller with the letters L A W

It is a one piece very heavy iron I thing . It has striations around the ball part. The shank is drilled. Very odd to me ... I found ball buttons before but first one like this..

Hi there! Brand new to the group but found you while trying to learn more about a button in found in the ground outside of our home in NW Minnesota. Any help identifying this buttons origins would be highly appreciated.

These finds are from my towns meeting house. I finally got permission from the head of the board of caretakers that run it. Of course that didn?t stop almost every car going by to stop and ask me what I was doing. There is such a stigma about metal detecting. People just don?t get it, even after...

So as soon as canonballguy made my day, by informing me I had found a US army shoulder belt plate. Needless to say I went back to the exact lot in this large abandoned town and starting searching. On my very first plug I pulled #1 out and when I went to check the hole before filling it in. #2...

Hello All, I've had this button for sometime and finally dug it out for some research. I would like to date this button. It has a P on the front. I was thinking police? But I can't find any one like it. I would also like to know how to clean it up some without destruction. Thanks for your...

I found it at a skirmish site in LA. Obviously it was corroding badly in the ground but i understand that's normal with LA buttons since many were made by smaller manufacturers. I can see some lettering on the back but I cant see a compete word. I'm attaching pics of the front and back...

Hi! I found this button searching in my backyard in NC the other day and I have no idea what it is. My land dates back to the late 1800s and I've found a lot of stuff from that time. I have no idea who lived there or how old this button is!!!! It seems like a military button but I can't find any...

Pulled this 2 piece button out, thought it was a coin at first. The front of the button immediately separated and fell to the ground where it broke in half. You can barely touch it without it disintegrating, bummer. Any help with ID would be appreciated. Amazed to see the thread is still...

Hello, I am new to Metal Detecting and on a recent trip found an antique button that I can’t identify. Are there any button experts that know what it came from or what it is? I’d really appreciate your help. Thank you in advance.

Hello all, I've found plenty with the naked eye, but this is MY very 1st metal detecting find that isn't a pull tab or junk. I am guessing Navy button? Found where a town existed in the 1890's (Per the County Map) and is now a park. I believe this more than likely to be from one of the...

Well it happened! My girlfriend found a block I button yesterday & I said that I would get mine tomorrow (today) and boy did I! I told my self long ago that I would never find a buckle or a confederate button in my hunting career, but I was proved wrong. dig every target no matter how bad it...

A few weeks back I found this button back, 8 inches deep, in Cartersville, Ga in an area I've previously hunted and have found countless other Civil War relics. After cleaning it up and trying to make out the letters, I can confidently say on the outer edge it is marked "Scovilles & Co" Below...

What’s the symbols on this shiny metal button? Sry for some reason it duplicated my post So I just edited this with another button

It looks like that’s a shield under the crown? I think it feels like plastic even though the outside looks like metal

What’s the name of that weapon called? These have nothing on the back

Headed back to the cellar hole today, the house was used during the civil war as a headquarters/ fort. I’ve pulled bullets, eagle buttons, and other items from here. The signals are becoming few and far between. Very hard to find anything worth digging so I’ve started digging every tone no...
