I found these two buttons in my front yard. I live on the front lines of a historic civil war battle field where I have found bullets, civil war eagle buttons, and tons of other civil war artifacts. But these don’t seem to fit in that category at all. My town was founded in 1799, the war took place in 1865 and most houses in the area were built in 1890-present. The first button was found 4months ago about 6 inches deep right next to my porch. The second button was found today a few feet from where I found the first one a few months back. I’ve walked that yard hundreds of times but things always seem to surface! (All depends on the direction you scan!) The button feels heavy like lead, or some kind of pot metal and has the shiniest gold gilding. The shank on the back is square instead of the typical rounded loop found on most buttons. My guess is Victorian era 1837-1901 based upon the style Worn by the man pictured in the button. But I also wonder why would someone of that era wear a button with the current style of the era on it?¿ Maybe it was a political button of some sort or someone of importance...I have no idea
If anyone has any information I’d be forever thankful.
