West Jersey Detecting
Gold Member
Once again, I had a few minutes of daylight left after work, so I wanted to check out a spot I have known about for years, but never detected.
I had another OMG find. I thought I found an early copper, which turned out to be a badly decomposed clad Kennedy...My first dollar coin was last week's IKE, and my first Half came today. Isn't it weird how that happens?
Anyway I found this small cuff button on the way back to my car. It appears to be 18th century, or early 19th century at the latest. The front is badly corroded, so I have to assume it is a flat civilian button. The reverse is corroded, but I can make out some of the remaining letters. It is possibly "...OVILL.." or "...OVILT..." or possibly an"M" instead of the "V". Any button experts wanna take a crack?
I am going to do some research on the area tonight and will try to get back there tomorrow.
