2 coppers and ANOTHER MARINE BUTTON!

[Sniffy]

What a beautiful day today was. My only day off, I decided to spend a couple hrs at a site that has been producing well. I slowed the DFX down to granny gear and decided to really focus. IT paid off very well. In between the iron grunts I found another marine button (Not but 3 ft away from the other one I recently found). I figured with just this button alone, my hunt has been a success....but 30 minutes later cruising along at a whoppin 00000.9 mph I got a nice chirp in between the nails and iron....I scanned from every direction and got iron, but a consistent chirp at penny/dime. Not a good signal, but what the heck....I dig down, use my pinpointer...square nail...ahhh...I stand back up...rescan the hole....SOLID penny/dime to quarter signal......I run my pinpointer back in the hole and there it was, this beautiful 1827 Large Cent at 6 inches deep. I'm very happy. So I start up again...cruising along...got the nice designed button...happier......So, then I decided to focus some attention in between the cellar hole and the barn foundation, the barn hole is pretty far away from the homesites so I picked a line and started swingin....I get all the way to the barn...which way to go? left or right...I went right and about 40 ft away from the barn site I got a beautiful Penny/Dime signal 5.5 inches.....I carefully dig my plug (assuming everything is a coin) and sure enough, the pinpointer buzzes and out pops this colonial copper! I was very excited now, I've never dug 2 coppers in one hunt! What a great feeling!.....pretty sure my wife is gonna be upset with me I decided to take on more pass back towards the cellar holes and call it day....half way to the cellar hole...I get a nice screwcap reading and out pops this neat flat button....It has a London backmark and on the back it says no.13.....It once had something on the front....I'd like to think that this was a military button...but I don't know.....anyhow...Could someone please help me ID the colonial copper? I'm not certain of what it is. Thanks for lookin!

Can you take a picture of the backmark for us? I am a connoisseur of button backmarks and would like to see which

company made this button

The man we like to call Sniffy proved he is on the Colonial scent. You are proving to be a great hunter. Keep flipping dirt and the coppers will flip.
