Did ok tonight in what was probably my last hunt on my cut Pistareen site. Goose and deer(gun) season are near and the finds are getting sparse. The toasted farthing is a first for me and upon closer inspection one of the few buttons dug tonight turns out to be a Andrew Jackson inauguration button dated March 4 1829

Wow! Love that inauguration button!! Lucky you! Congrats. -Lisa & John
 

Congratualtions on the very nice finds!
 

What a great button with great timing! Now, I've always been naturally into history as I'm sure many members are, however, the mentioning of Andrew Jackson represents a shakeup of politics almost 200 years ago. With similar undertones of our current election process, I think this button underscores a period of American politics similar to our current one. 1824 and 1828 were two shaky elections in American history

Here are a few links:

Great finds Toast! Congats

Yes I believe Jackson was the first to use such campaign paraphernalia as this button is quite valuable in non dug condition

Congrats on digging those keepers toasted. :occasion14: I hope to dig some cool buttons someday, maybe on the next trip back east in the spring.
