Photo's of all 144 buttons found so far at "Button Hill!" Stay tuned for more updates

I'm sure some of you have been following our "button hill" finds that my cousin and I have been making. Thought I would do a shot of just the buttons and the coins so far from this site(will post the other relics later). 144 buttons total have been found by myself and my cousin has also found 144, making that 288 buttons from this site. It's a 30 acre piece of land that we basically stumbled on, without any research. Kinda like playing the lottery...and WINNING.

Buttons that stand out are the 3 military buttons I have so far:
Pewter Wayne's Legion button(with shank)
1812 navy button(with shank)
1790's - 1812 Royal Artillery button(with shank)

Coins include:
2 Draped bust large cents(1800 and 1805)
1818 Matron Head Large cent
Connecticut state copper
178? Spanish 1 Reale
1903 Indian head a couple wheat pennies and a '54 silver rosie(the more modern coins of the bunch)
With one or two more hunts I'm sure my cousin and I will hit 300 or more buttons. Stay tuned...

What an awesome pic and better site! It's gotta be so much fun digging all of those great signals. And I thought my 32 button site was cool lol. Great hunts man with some amazing finds. Thank for the group shots. Very cool to see them all together

Good stuff! I found my first old button today. I think I am going to like finding them as much as coins.

That's a nice site you have there great finds. I cannot imagine what must have gone on there that's so many buttons were lost. Did you find any matching sets? Are you pulling up any identifiable iron?

 

[Old Dude]

You have one of if not THE best sites posted since I have been a member. Big congrats and I hope you hit that 300 mark.

Great finds, great site, keep digging guys. I like how your neck and neck on the buttons numbers, I usually can't keep up with anyone, I'm very slow digger, lol

Matt - I don't know what your thoughts are, but many times when I find 200+ buttons at a site it usually ends up being an early military camp that was adjacent to a period house. I bet that's the case with your situation as well, especially since you've found a few military buttons there. You should also take some time and look for the trash pits that are likely to be hiding somewhere on the property. Congrats on all your nice recoveries.

Thanks, Bill. We would need someone with some expertise in finding and digging a pit. We are mere amateurs when it comes to that.
