I found a first the other weekend with Scrappy and OutdoorAdv. It's a lead button mold that would have been used to make pewter buttons. Always nice to find a first at this point. I always found a complete shoe buckle.

I still can't get over that incredible button mold man! Never seen one of those before and I'm sure there's a lot of history behind it. You guys killed it at that site. Hope you can get back there soon.

That mold is phenomenal Abe! I assume more plain ones were made than ones with designs, so that's an extra special find.

What amazing finds!! That mold is awesome.
I found a toy soldier mold once... 3 decades later, I found a toy soldier which actually fit the mold to a 'T'.
Good luck on your next hunt ;)
