buffalo/flat button

[texjim]

Went with Jeff of pa this morning and had a nice hunt. I found a no date buffalo, a 44 wheat, a flat button that has treble gilt standard written on the back. it is worn smooth on the front. anyone know and estimate date of the flat button? i also got a hand full of clad from a couple of hunts... Thanks for looking

Nice old button there. I'm no expert, but I guess it could date from the mid to early 1800's. Looks like you had plenty of targets to dig!

Jim, what causes the button to wear flat like that?? use?

I found what I believe is a VT Militia button with a flat front. Really bummed it doesn't have the front. Just about to post it on here, keep an eye out to check it out.
