1860's Excelsior officer's BUTTON!

Went for a short hour long hunt today on the outside lawn of a building that was built in 1870. It has a fence around it so I couldn't get close, but there was a decent size lot outside of the fence.

First signal I get is a good one and I dig it. It turns out be an awesome button! In great shape with amazing details. It is an Excelsoir New York button from an officer's coat. On the back it says "extra quality". I am in the process of cleaning it up and will post some more pictures tomorrow when the process is done.

Unforently there was not a single keeper after that. Seems the area has been hit hard, but I'm glad they missed that button! Made my day.

Man - is a sweet button. Haven't seen one like that posted in MI. I found one a couple years ago but was a different design
Congrats!!

Nice find! Glad to know that there may still be stuff in the ground.
Seems like all the accessible areas around here have been hit hard.

Sweet button! Excelsior is Latin and means "ever higher" which is the motto of the state of NY. Unique find!
