You have a point. I actually found three of them. I only could carry one out. I was rather far out and had a heavy load. The stove cover suggestion was interesting.
Thank you
Hello
I found this possible Gun port hatch/door. It was pretty corroded. I have soaked and tapped it gently to reveal the initials (R W.) And at the bottom (No. 3) the markings are on the back.
I broke the corner off but I have all of the pieces.
It is 9” tall x 8” wide. It looks just...
Hello
Just found this in an area where I found a 1723 Halfpenny, two identical Pewter buttons, two early
1800 buttons and other iron. I have cleaned this pretty much down to the iron finish. Took pictures just after final white wine vinegar bath. Please let me know what you think. It is...
Wow. That’s a lot of good info. Thank you. I did find my Dandy Button About 15 yards away from this Button. About another 20 yards away from where, in March, I found a 1865 2 cent piece. So your date seems very possible.
Hello
I just found another button at my current dig location. I think it is Civil War era. “ Extra Treble Stand”. Is what I think it says on the back. It is magnetic. So not silver,gold or copper.
Does anyone know what time period This would be from?
Thank you for your response. This is actually my first Dandy Button. I found a 4 hole button from possibly Civil War and a jacket button from U.K. Dating to early 19th century. Thanks again!
That’s more what I was thinking too. It fits the criteria for EARLY 19th Century. Like you I’m not up to date on buttons. I’ve only dug 3 significant buttons since starting detecting.
Thank you!
Hello
I believe I have found either a Dandy or Tombac button. I believe it’s Brass. It has an intact shank on the back.
If anyone has input on the age , please let me know.
Thank you
