Good Job GEO !, the 69er is lovely.

Your last hunt, sorry no reply, had a couple interesting finds, but this one is much better.

PS was talking to D.K. recently. Glad your getting out, seems everyone is now.

Haha, Aqua.... We have a few that are the same.

Good to see you too, Ricardo!

Very nice 69!!!

The other looks plain, to me, not toast, I have many 'Civvy' plain types.

Thanks, Crusader. I've found so many military buttons there, I assumed it was one too.

Great finds Gio! Thanks for sharing...

I know what you mean, but for me it's often the other way around. I have to find quite a few plain/civvy decor type before I get a Military. Not unusual over here to have them mixed together, I think I remember IP say the same for him.

Finally one for the good guys!

Can be mixed, but our % is very high so when we dig a pewter there's a good chance it will be military. Pretty much all our Rev War period military have the edge eaten up, so it's a real drag when a nice large round pewter button pops out back side up and you think you finally hit a nice one, and ends up being plain.

I do agree it's a plain button. They don't really wear so much you can't see anything. Not like coins.

I have the same feeling when a really good plain one pops out. Dad had an OK one yesterday, even had a small circle in the middle to make you look harder.
