Today was my 2nd time looking on this property which I have exclusive rights too. I will reveal more as I get more pictures to authenticate things there.
So, for today, I found with my DFX 2 brass buttons and what turned out to be a costume jewelery broach.
I was excited enough to find the buttons, but my heart did race there for a few seconds when I dug up the broach.
I thought, naawww, can't be real, just costume jewelry. Sure enough, when I was finished for the day, my first stop was the local Jeweler. He looked at it for about 1 second, and gave me the bad news... oh well, does look nice though.
As for the brass buttons, they were made by a ( R. Robinson & Co. in attleborough )
That's the way its spelled on the back. I have looked up some info on the company on-line, and I'm just not sure of the if I have the right Robinson Family or not that made buttons back in the latte 1700's, early 1800's. If anyone has any information about this button it would be greatly appreciated. More to come as I continue to detect this property.
( see below for more pictures !!!!!!!!!!)
Happy hunting
