Old Coppers and 2 Gold Buttons...

[FooserPaul]

Hello all!

I got out to a green I've hunted a bunch over the last 2 years... Last trip there 30 days ago yielded a CT Copper... I was hunting this spot in TTF this round...

First Keeper was my 22nd Indian Head for 2011... 1869 IH...

This target was a smooth 12/31 @ 4-5"... Any thoughts on this "P" button?

This was bouncing up to 12/42 and 12/46 @ 11-12"...

This button is heavy compaired to a 2 piece brass button... Any ideas on age or significance?

Last keeper was a spotty signal at 12"... This sucker was pristine when dropped... but almost 2 decades started to consume her....

1835 Matron Head Large Cent (Coppah #4 for 2011)

HH ALL!
Paul

It is a Police button ca. 1910

The 2nd button has no significance. It is referred to as a flower button, and is civilian. It looks like the backmark reads B&B EXTRA which should stand for Benedict and Burnham and would make this 1830's-40's. They were the best button makers of their time IMO. Every button of theirs I've seen comes out nice
