Hi Guys and Gals, I am new here and found something today out detecting that has stumped me!! No shank, very thick, slightly larger than a dime. Markings on the inside are a pitcher, I think a sword, and a crown with the letter G under it. I have no idea. It looks like a button but dont see...
So, I mostly hunt for coins and jewelry. I have not been bitten by the relic bug. I have seen many videos about relic hunting and they just don't interest me. That being said, I may be ready to change my mind about relic hunting. On Sunday, I was hunting a local school looking for coins and...
I had found this little coin a few months back, but had thought it was a button. After some research I realized it’s actually a 1 cent 1956 coin from Mexico, it says ‘Estados Unidos Mexicanos’. Except on the back it appears to look like a button loop. So I thought maybe someone made the coin...
Found this little dude in the desert by Las Cruces, NM. Chimed in around 80-84 on the ATPro. Looks like a deer/elk head embellished on the front. Possible button, maybe Rosette? Please help with ID of manufacturer and Date. Thanks, Jobrian

Would you help me to identify any or all of the buttons found at the site of a former shoddy woolen mill? Would be much appreciated. I’m a newbie to this site. Here’s hoping the photo attaches. :-)
Found these today , not any markings as far as I can tell. Both appear to be brass or copper . The larger one is flat and the other one is thicker in the middle. Thanks, dave
Looks like a flat button
This came out of the ground corroded. It was put through a limited electrolysis and then a copper cleaner.
These two steps helped reveal the surface detail, which is a seven-petal flower on the front(sunflower?) and a missing shank on the back.
This appears to be a...
Found in a park dated 1904 Thought it might be boy scouts but not sure anymore. Please help with any suggestions and possible date . Its a 2 piece button but back is totaled.

This was also found digging in the front yard in Charleston. We cleaned it up with some naval jelly. It's a flat button with what appears to be a version of the presidential seal on it. The top banner says 'E Pluribus Unum' and the back says 'Gilt'. How old is this, and who would've worn it...
