flat button

Hunting this spot that has loads of history from early 1600's and before. Native American and Colonists. Its right where a river meets the ocean. So these banks are eroding into the water. First time i have found a flat button just sitting on the surface like that. The rocks and ledge almost act...

Didn't have much time today after work. So i decided to just drive to a few cellar holes i have marked in Gaia as potential sites. Just to see how i would access them or who i would have to ask for permission. I drove down a road that's 10 minutes away from where i live, that i have apparently...

Spent the morning creek walking for native pottery and arrowheads. No luck, so moved to metal detect an old permission I hadn’t been to in a while and saved this old button and a few other do dads.

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...

I went back to the 1830s site for a little bit and found a couple more flat buttons. I have never seen a concave flat button and couldn't find any like it in my search. It has the usual markings on the back "Rich Orange Gold Colour". The front is plain.

Little cuff button I found and assumed it wasn’t really flat button era but no harm in asking. Says cross London on the front and Birmingham on reverse.

My first hunt with my FORS CoRe and found these two small flat buttons, and the larger sunburst button. Excited to have begun this hobby and found a local group to hunt with.

Headed back to the cellar hole today, the house was used during the civil war as a headquarters/ fort. I’ve pulled bullets, eagle buttons, and other items from here. The signals are becoming few and far between. Very hard to find anything worth digging so I’ve started digging every tone no...

I found a Stippled I Confederate Coat Button back marked Manchester, and a very large flat / dandy button with no markings.

Found this 1/2 flat button in a CW site north of Atlanta. What would be the age or era of this flat button? What would a flat button this size be use for?

my son and I hunted an area where a local guy said his neighbor used to hunt in the 70's and found lots of CW relics. A 1864 map of the Union and Confederate position show a Union division headquarters a mile south of our hunt area. So we figured a good site. My son found what looked like old...

Not sure exactly what date it is. Flip side is slightly concave with No Markings. Colonial settlers were in this region. It was near a stream, which I will be returning to to sweep over more territory. Thanks and Happy Hunting

I recovered this Flat Button today(11.26.2019), in the Morriston Community, just outside of Petal, Mississippi... I am hoping that someone here can help me to put a year or year range on this button, and if the bust is of a particular person, well it would be great to know who that person was.

I found this last week... last hunt with my Quicksilver before I got an ACE 300 from my family for my birthday. The picture below is brightened up a bit so you can better see the details, The graph paper is about 5 squares to an inch, but I'll attach a better picture with a penny or something...

Found this civilian flat button today. No markings. Any information about it that you guy's can share would be appreciated.

**Cleaned the button since posting this thread. Definitely NOT colonial, word BEST on back of button.** BUTTON 1901 INDIAN HEAD PENNY SMALL FLAT BUTTON SQUARE NAILS I dug this pretty little button today. Since learned word BEST on back. I also dug a few other buttons and a 1901 Indian Head...

Hi friends, John found these two items today. A flat button and something we can't quite figure out yet. Looking forward to your input. Thanks for looking! -Lisa & John

Good evening, friends. We are enjoying reading about your finds--feels good to know that even though we may not find exciting stuff on a given day, others are! Anyway, John Doug for a little bit after work today and found a flat button and a strange looking button type relic, connected by a...
