Coolest 1700's Tombac button I ever seen or dug

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

After work I had a 1/2 hour till it got dark. I shot down to a old site me and Todd had hit a few times.a crap load of buttons came out of this site.I saved a few more today.This has to be the coolest 1700's tombac button I have ever dug. At 1st I was like oh it's scratched like many tombacs I dig, then I wiped more mud off and was like..Whoa!
Reminds me of the TALLIO fox cuff links from the same time period.

Great looking button, lots of the silver wash still.

thanks! Tombacs didn't have a silver wash.it's the metal content that makes it look silverish

I think that link is very tentative. Massive speculation, especially as Cru'dad has found one just like it & we had no RW over here.

 

[Roundness]

Very COOL!!!

Killer Button, Dave! I have never seen a Tombac with anything other than a geometric pattern. Cool as heck!

Nice finds, congratulations!

 

[CASPER-2]

that is 3rd one ive seen like that - kind of like the "tally hoe" buttons
NICE

 

[Relicific]

Awesome button

 

[Palmetto]

Great find Dave-never seen anything like that on a tombac either. Mostly star or geometric type designs.
Hope all is well-long time no talk and hope to see more vids from you and Todd-

 

[Joe-Dirt]

Very nice finds, can’t wait to get out

 

[Patriot Relics]

Very interesting etched tombac, the other gilt flat is a nice one as well. Maybe a design hiding under that corrosion

I think this button is incredible, and gets my banner vote, deserves to be up top
