Andrew Jackson Inaugural Button & An 1802 Two Reale

[Indiana Digger]

Best day I've had in a while!

Thrilled, thrilled, THRILLED about this button. Assumed it was just another flat button until I got it home and started to work on it. Only then, did I realize I had something special. Two inches deep - VDI hit at 58 on my Whites Eagle II SL90. Field find.



My third Spanish silver/colonial coins in 1 1/2 years. Unusual to find them here in Indiana.
1802 Carlos IIII Two Reale. Mexico City Mint. F&M assayers. Holed to boot.
Two inches deep - VDI bounced 84-88 on my Whites Eagle II SL90. Field find.


Tickled about my finds today. They also included an 1888 V Nickle, an 1896 IH and a suspender clip.

Thanks for looking and Happy Hunting,

Great find. you did a really good job on the cleaning as well. Jackson was nicknamed "Old Hickory" because of his toughness and aggressive personality; he fought in duels, some fatal to his opponents.[SUP][2][/SUP] He was a wealthy slaveholder. He fought politically against what he denounced as a closed, undemocratic aristocracy, adding to his appeal to common citizens. He expanded the spoils system during his presidency to strengthen his political base.
Seems he was a tough old stick to.
