Early Navy Cuff Button, 1st dig

[Rick (Nova Scotia)]

My first time out this year.
Not a lot of keepers, but I like this little button, a type, and size I've not found before.

Man it got hot fast around here, still snow in some shade areas, and it got up past 70 F today.

Sadly as old age creeps upon me I try to figure where ALL finds came from, I research TN, I find this web page, but I made no note of the site in the post, and also sadly I don't remember where I dug this find...how sad.
Documentation IS important.

FWIW I did keep a fairly good record (dirt journal)of most of my findings from 2010 through 2016, but I admittedly slacked off 2017. No excuse.

So anyway I am prusing my own posts here putting together a file which places finds to sites, and I also wish to "clean up" the display cases.

A keeper for sure.

Sorry John, this is an old thread.
I made comment, that I don't remember where I found that button, and that I did keep good records for everything from 2010 to 2016.
So I'm making a file with most finds, the better stuff anyway, and putting in links to these TN pages.
I started reviewing all my posts starting with the newest, it's going to take awhile. I thought there was a way to display just the threads you started yourself ? But didn't see that, anyway most of my hunts were recorded, with dates, so I can find them, just slow. Want to "clean up" the display cases too, a lot of stuff could be scrapped, and some returned, or used as bribes for future hunts now that covid is becoming less of a concern now.

But I will be getting out a little this year perhaps later this week, Thursday or Friday, depending on rain.
