Got out with Todd Hiltz today to some cellar holes.we found 5 sites and they were hit before but we managed a few keepers from each site.some very nice condition pewter buttons.probably a early 1700's colonial shoe buckle frame & a matron head Large Cent which has a altered reverse :laughing7: .some other nice designed buttons as well.one being a possible Tudor Rose Royal Navy Rev War button

All good finds, but I don't buy into the Rev War button story (rose). Far too many Civvy versions about, to tell the difference.

thanks Cru.that seems to be the general consensus but,I hope it may be one.
 

I'm loving that shoe buckle man. Excellent finds
 

Hey Dave Great Ct cellar hunt & finds . Interesting letter variation on reverse of the LC .... ONE :censored: , pic 2 :laughing9:

Awesome
Buttons and coins man. Love the Tudor rose and pewter flowers. Gorgeous!
 

Man, those pewters are in phenomenal shape. Great hunt Dave
 

nice finds man you guys did good!
 

That is a whole display case right there. Can't believe you pulled all that from a known site...just killer technique. The profane cent and shoe buckle are my favs, low and high brow mix that I am.
 

Looks like you had a great day. You certainly dug some quality finds.
 

Excellent collection of relics from that site, my 2 cents on the tutor rose pewter- right material, right design (split cast with iron loop shank), right insignia for British lieutenants. Looks good to me
 

Glad to see that you guys are still getting out and finding some goodies. Wish I could say the same. Good luck!
 

I rarely find any older buttons with designs on them, most are just plain and flat. Those are really nice! Thanks for sharing.
