Incredible buttons kshimes. Those are some of the best dug buttons I've seen. They don't get much better than that. Well done man.

OK, (1) Welcome to Tnet. (2) Never EVER seen somebody post a beautiful blown up pic of an eagle button, but he just throws a script I, a Georgia and a South Carolina (All gorgeous) in a group of four and takes a snapshot. (Not to mention those very old Navys and Artillerys) (3) You "know there is something awesome there"?? Good GRIEF man! What do you need to find to call it awesome?! You already TOOK three (or more) "awesomes" out of there! (4) If you're an experienced old hand at this, congrats! If you're new to this . . . I detest you. (Not really, but jealous as heck!)

Thanks Parsonwalker! I think these button are awesome. But to be honest i was more excited to find that large cent. I been detecting over 20 yrs. and i never found these types buttons before. When i found the script I button i told a friend that was with me and said i found a button with some sort of F on it. He was freaking out about it. I almost gave it to him. I found the other 3 that same day same area. I mainly detect the beaches and parks until recently. We going back this weekend so hopefully i'll have more to show.

I think I did a bad thing. I cleaned them

 

[kshimes1]

Buttons found last couple of months

Man those are some fine buttons! Savannah an Charleston have the history and the soil to produce buttons like that!

Typically, its fine to clean those as long as you leave the patina and the patina on those look great. One of our members, BuckleBoy, wrote an awesome post on cleaning different types of buttons. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/cleaning-preservation/89045-how-clean-buttons.html He explains everything really well in there. The ones with gilt left always have the biggest transformation. I use a lot of his techniques based on the condition of the buttons I dig... some I leave alone and others I clean some. I've never dug buttons as incredible as yours. Once again, well done man!
