That is one beautiful button you have there. Congrat's on a great save.
 

Sensational- Congrats!!
 

Yeap that's a good one - congrats.
 

Lots of gold wash left on that beauty, congrats.
 

Super button, congrats! What is the back story on the find?
 

I'd like to know what is written across the top and where (not specifically, just the type) this was found. Beautiful button. Don't often see so much gilt still on them.

ROYAL MARINES across the top. Waiting on location.

It says Royal Marines and was found in the southern part of Nova Scotia Canada.

Not much of a back story just went out to a place me and a friend have detected before close to a old cellar hole and decided to try my luck in a area that was bushy and hard to move around in and boom this popped out. Found another one 5 feet away or so that was in a lot worse condition, just so you can make an anchor out on it.
