Button kind of day

[boondocker]

Went back to my "condemned" field yesterday for about 2 hrs. After making a few passes I got a good solid signal at a depth of 4" and out popped this beauty, a nice Civil War Artillery button with lots of gilt still left on it, happy dance happy dance, continued on my way then bam another button, then bam another, and another, 5 in all, not bad for about 2 hrs of fun, then on my way back to my suv I picked up this nice large cent I think the date reads 1830, my 4th LC from this field so far. Hope to get back there later today. Thanks for looking Dean

Thanks guys for the comments. I think that Eagle button is becoming my favorite button find.

Wow, Nice Gold Button, Congrats!!! Was the Indian head a fatty, looks like it is.

The best Eagle I have found is pretty green, but I still love it. Found it in Virginia last fall!

the coin is a large cent, I don't think it's a fatty seems to be the same size as the other ones I have found. Dean

Buttons and coppers...... Sounds familiar I like digging the Tombac buttons as it means that there could be a great find nearby

I'm hoping for a tree shilling a garrison house was across the street built before 1680

Some cool stuff and a nice eagle A. It looks to be a one piece button. If so it dates about 1814 to 1820. Very cool.
