I went to the Subterrix Cellar Run on Sunday and found my first colonial shoe buckle! This is everything notable I found: - Colonial shoe buckle frame (Favorite find) - 4x Great Seal military buttons (First for me as well and they seem to have been painted black) - 1x copper button..dandy...

Can anyone figure out this button? Revolution -1812 time period I think? Looks like a snake or some kind of script South Ga. Thanks

Some family has a few hundred acres a little southeast of Abilene, Texas. I’ve detected a particular spot a few times where we know a house used to stand. There are other remnants on other parts of the property where other houses may have been. I just can’t seem to find any coins, but over...

I found this today! My first nice button! I was detecting some family’s property in Callahan County, Texas. I know there used to be a house where I found this. I know nothing about identifying buttons. I believe it’s military. I can’t make out what the back says other than some random letters...

I found a beautiful North West Mounted Police )NWMP) ”MARBLE” button but I know nothing about it. I was told it was 1870-1880 could be from the uniform of a NWMP Band member. I know they are a rare button and would love know other history on it. I found it outside east of Regina Sask while on a...

Crops are being harvested here in Indiana, and I went back out to try out an old spot with my new Manticore. Used a small coil slowly over a dense iron bed that I'd been over with my 14" coil last year. Found several civilian buttons, one military button that I'll explain, a civil war era Minie...

Went out for a short hunt today and found this WWI-era collar disk. It is from the 62nd Infantry Regiment. The regiment existed from May 15th 1917 to July 31st 1922. They were formed in California and stationed at Camp Fremont. On October 18th 1918 they departed California to Camp Mills New...

Took the ORX out in the backyard and found this button.

I found some symbols carved into a rock in a remote part of the southwest in an area that was Spanish occupied for sure. Some interesting gravel like stuff near the rock. Also found some markings scratched on a boulder in the same area. Took a lot of walking and exploring. Any idea what they...

I wanted to share this with you all on here because I was blown away by the result of cleaning this early 1800s button with a lemon rind. I had found this button last November and just now got around to cleaning some of my gilt finds. I could tell this one had a bit of gilt still on it when you...

The first ever mint year of the Indian Head Penny, the 1859 series fat cent. The button is likely from the same time period.

Found in Missouri. Im assuming it's a civil war era button but I'm unable to identify the state. I thought it was a Maryland or new jersey button but the design is all wrong. Any help appreciated.

Had fun digging. The weather was beautiful. Found some buttons and one IHP 1880.

Good Morning! its me again! I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming after last nights quick 1.5 hour hunt. 2023 was a slow year of detecting. when I say slow, I mean with finds. my buddy and I would go out almost every weekend and detect. but the end of 2023 has been very generous...

Hi all, new to the site and hoping to get some ID help. I did browse through a bit and saw that there seem to be some members with a lot of knowledge about Horstmann buttons. From the backmark I am assuming this one is circa 1890s based on my reading but I am more curious to know if anyone...

Been trying to identify it and really want to be able to figure out what it is/when it's from. I'm scared to clean it to much but this is what I found.... a Flat Eagle button with a shield (I'm pretty sure lol). THANK YOU for all the help. Found in Virgina, if that helps.

these are some more finds from my 1800's abandoned town site. Where i have found civil war military relics the soldier brought home and so much more. I'm fairly certain #1 is a trigger guard, but from what? Rifle or pistol? could this be a military issue weapon someone brought home to go...

First hunt this year!! Haven't been detecting for a long time. So pumped that my first night out was a success!! Any guess on age for this vintage looking silver ring? And what about this button? Please comment if you have info. Thanks!

My husband found this button in our cow field today in VA! I can’t find much info on it, but finally saw it says “Solidite Paris” on the back. The front says “H.G Fledderman” and something else like “Dalto” ? I can’t read it well. Any info or history on timeframe of this or where it would’ve...

Found on an early 1800s site in New York. I tried Google lens but found nothing. There is nothing written on the other side.

So happy to find this website today. This is my first post here so if I need to add other pics, please let me know. I found this outside my house today. I’d love to find out approximate age for this button. Our house was built in 1900 and we have been finding some cool things over the last 6...

Hello everyone, Found this button a few years back. I’ve had a few button group look at it and it’s apparently the only example found in the US, another example was found in Europe. It reads “Irish Volunteers” Any idea what it’s worth? And is it really that rare?

Does anyone recognize this silver maker’s mark?

Found these today, anyone have information on the silver cuff button? Can’t seem to find the maker mark Mystery solved! The button is from the Kingdom of Sardinia, 800/1000 Silver used from 1824-1872

I’m very new into this and found what I believe to be a button. Any ideas as to age?

Delayed start to the day as heavy rain in the morning, but never daunted we decided to drive over to the field of dreams and see how it went. Well, what can I say, this is the same field as last week, but we went up into a corner near the pond, that we hadn’t really done, the stubble is...

I'm thinking this is an old snap button with maybe part of the old leather coat still between the 2 pieces??? Approx 1/2 inch in diameter. Could anyone help me with what I have here and give me a date/use/name? Thanks as always! -Chase

Heavy rain on and off yesterday so got up early today to make sure we got some fresh air, the rain held off so we actually got a whole day in! Went back to the fields adjacent to last week on top of the hill. Got the usual mix, of buttons, 3 lead weights, some buckles, musket balls, and 2...

What a perfect day today was, last day of our holiday and it could not of been nicer. We went back to yesterday’s stubble field …. not sure what you will make of todays mixed bag, but I loved every second of it! beautiful crotal bell, complete, lovely button, including one with an anchor on...

At last the rain stopped and although cold and windy we headed out to some stubble fields… and are we glad we did! Lots of pottery across the field so hopes were high…. Yep 2 hammered for me… think one is a Charles 1 (1641 ) the other not sure… seems to have shields on both sides… nice lead...

Today dawned bright and sunny, so detecting was on! We went back to the same field as last time, as himself needed to take delivery of his new headphones (the previous ones didn’t fit 😂) and this field is about 5 mins from his house! A musket ball, lead weight, lots of buttons, a buckle, 2...

After a busy couple of days socialising we took a much needed waltz down to the river bank. The heavy fog didn’t lift all day, so we felt strangely cocooned from reality, with just the Rooks yelling in the trees and the beeps from the machines to accompany us! This is the same area we did last...

so today we headed to a new field, the view was pretty, but we got bored of digging shot gun cases… so after a couple hours wandering about, we called it quits and headed back to yesterdays super field. We did ok considering only a couple of hours and we had been over it yesterday! got some...

Button with a heraldic crest. A medieval tower, and an armor helmet. I can only find one on eBay for sale, but can’t find any information and history.
