buttons

This year I actually wrote down a bucket list of finds going forward and on there was Capped Bust Silver. Well it didn't take long to line that one out. On a new colonial site with VMI and Matt this last week/weekend and we dug an absolute haul of buttons and other relics. It was slow going at...

I recently found a new Camp in Southwest Missouri. So far we have found 11 .69 caliber Minies and 8 flat/coin Buttons. the picture is only what I have found The weeds are as tall as I am so we are waiting for the Property owner to burn them.

I did some research already and have tried comparing it to other buttons online. Apparently the "Great Seal" button is pretty common.. I found this one in Arizona and the Stamp on the back is hard to read.. I may try to clean it up a little... But I forsure know its from City Button Works...

I'm searching for information that would link my recent discovery of gold gilt buttons with the name Rich Orange Warranted on the back side ... to the 1840's fur trade and the North American Indian tribes. Evidence found thus far suggests these buttons may have been going to Bent's Fort along...

Today I came home with a bucket of old buttons so I started sifting through them. I'm posting some that I found. Feel free to post your comments. 1. FD Buttons (Fire Dept) (3) 2. Two different Superior Quality Eagles, 3. POD (Post Office) 4. Remington Express 5. Railroad Train (3) 6...

Hi I have a box of buttons I'm trying to figure out if they are worth anything and any information everyone could offer! Thanks!

Hi, I received a box full of old buttons to make jewelry with, before making any modifications to them I'm wondering if they're worth anything! Would also love some history on them if anyone can help out. Thank you!

I really a lot of people asking about buttons. So with that being said I have a very good friend and brother who is a button expert second to none. I bet that he can figure out any button especially military buttons. Military buttons are his specialty and he owns his own website...

Hi friends, hope you all are well. John found some goodies the other day, including the tiniest buckle in the world, ha ha. Also a 1902 "V" nickel, a larger brass buckle, a couple of buttons, and a gorgeous pineapple decorative piece with what looks like clip on the back, as if it was worn by...

Hi friends, John finally had a chance to detect for a little bit yesterday. He found another first for him--an 1871 shield nickel. Also a pretty decent 1921 Buffalo nickel. Another big mystery coin (looks bigger than a large cent) that I will have to work on when I see John next. A tiny gilded...

Would like to know if anybody has an idea as to age of this button. If it can be done by the back marks.. Here is a photo of it It has GILT stars on it I think first two letters are TE

Hi gang, Talk about bizarre--the other day we found two, draped bust large cents, and today we find two Morgan Silver Dollars! I should add that John's eight-year-old son, Johnny, found the older coin on his Ace 350! Way to go, Johnny! Also found assorted buttons. The Morgans are 1883 and...

Hi guys, John dug these today, and I can't find a match for them during an online search. Could anyone help us ID these? They appear to be brass or copper? And as you can see, one has a 17 on it and one has a 24 on it. Both found in the same area as our other Revolutionary war finds. Also...

Hi all, just posting yesterday's small haul. Looks like one dandy (macaroni?) and the rest...old. :icon_scratch: Thanks for looking! ~Lisa & John

Hi all, John dug for an hour or so and managed to text me these photos before he broke his iPhone. Enjoy! ~Lisa & John

Hi everyone! John just texted me some new photos from this evening's metal detecting. He wanted to test out his new pointer, and boy did it deliver. We are very interested in figuring out what these things are! Especially cool is the Shield button/broach. We keep finding large, crude pewter or...

I hate to do it but I'm selling a lot of Civil War / Virginia Military Uniform Buttons: eBay item number: 182192600510 I'm starting to clean up my collections.

I cannot identify the era to which this button belongs to. Does anyone here have any ideas? :icon_scratch: Thank You. Note:It was found in the UK on a field that an old roman road went through.

Found these today can find them anywhere

When I dug it, I thought I found silver, wasn't tarnished at all but after cleaning, clearly its a button. My research has led me to believe naval artillery? And here is the last button,
