1830's One-Piece Eagle "R" Button from the 1749 Farthing Site
We got out yesterday to a new site, but we got skunked, so we headed back to the site that has produced every outing that we were there. This site was where Chris dug his killer 1749 farthing.
Well, needless to say, I wasn't swinging long before I got a nice penny reading at three inches deep. I saw this in the plug and instantly thought, "One-Piece Military?" We rarely ever dig early military buttons on our sites, so I wasn't getting my hopes up high. However, when I started field cleaning it, I noticed an eagle on it. That is when I blurted out what I found to Kirk and Chris.
Here it is cleaned up! It is my first early military button (Pre-Civil War). The backmark reads: "Superior Quality WHH & Co."


Thanks for looking!
