military

This is a metal, not brass button with an eagle (head facing upwards), 13 stars and an anchor. One talon is on the shaft and the other is on the end bar. I am confused as to whether it is facing left or right. I am new to this identifying buttons. Also the back mark is a wreath (sort of) of...

I found this special relic a couple days ago on a field in a abandoned settlement. It is one of the best things I ever dug out of the ground. :icon_thumright: Here's the video where I found the badge:

Dug these two matching copper artifacts last week. Roughly 4.5 inches long; 2.5 inches wide, they could have fit together, though they were found sightly apart. Other finds that day ranged from a 1906 "Farmer's Permit" (copper) to a battered Spanish real, circa 1780s. The site's date doesn't...

Came across this item. It’s marked BEC 1942. Wondering if it’s militart possibly. I’ve not been able to find any info on it.

I did some research already and have tried comparing it to other buttons online. Apparently the "Great Seal" button is pretty common.. I found this one in Arizona and the Stamp on the back is hard to read.. I may try to clean it up a little... But I forsure know its from City Button Works...

Found this near a very old site in MA... Not sure what it is, music notes on the bottom and maybe would have an eagle on the top of this.. Rang up bouncing from 45-51 ish Range on AT Gold

I really a lot of people asking about buttons. So with that being said I have a very good friend and brother who is a button expert second to none. I bet that he can figure out any button especially military buttons. Military buttons are his specialty and he owns his own website...

I was detecting a really old house that's situated between a couple of opposing civil war camps. I found this old Navy button in the front yard, and a buckle cover in the field across the road.

Out here there used to be a military airfield long ago, WW2 or so I believe. I talked to some people and went to what used to be a machine gun practice range for aerial shooting I heard, there was a dirt mound down range where a lot of bullets got caught but I heard you can find them far away up...

Hello. While cleaning some of my grandfather's belongings I found what I thought was an artillery shell. Rather should I say it found me. It rolled and fell off a shelf about 12' on a concrete flooring scaring me half to death as I thought it was live. Upon no bang I went back to see it was...

Hi all, we dug this brass item yesterday. About 1.5" long. Can't quite find anything like it online. Any ideas? Note the hole in its side--not made by someone trying to hang it as a locket, but forged when the item was made (as you can see by the homing on the underneath). In the group photo...

Hi everyone. I mentioned yesterday I would post some photos of the buttons we've found so far on the 1683 property, so here goes. Several have subtle remainders of gold gilt. There is one button I'm very curious about--it has what looks like wheat on the sides, and some writing on it. I'm...

Found this at an 1875 home site in central Indiana. It is brass and 1.5 inches in diameter. It lacks any sort of back, but the central part shows where I believe something had been attached. So my questions are- 1) Is this military as I am assuming? 2) If military, what was it? Was it a...

Hello All, Here is a second that I can't seem to identify. I need some help on the makers mark identification, age, composition, Value, info. It is a Vintage/Antique Air Force (I believe) Cufflink, Collar Button perhaps. From what I can see the makers mark appears to be a crest of sorts...

Today was a nice day and I decided to hit some back roads without a plan or destination. First I made a turn onto a dead end road where I spotted an old pump in a field and a narrow gate next to some old stuff hanging on a barbed wire fence. I made a hot lap around a tree and small grassy...

I found this sword at an antique shop. I think they're asking too much for it and was wondering if anyone can help ID the time period (WWI? WWII? earlier?) and what the inscriptions say. Is there anything special about this sword? The scabbard is wood covered in simple leather and there is...
