Finally!!!!!!!!

[Gunrunner61]

After almost 10 years of looking in the north Georgia woods I have finally found a cellar hole!
I only had an hour or so to look but it wasn't wasted. Found a 1887 Injun, and this button. I can see an Eagle
and around the bottom it says "improved" And around the top I can make out a star, Then "J" space "W A L
either an X or a K then E and maybe a Y . Im not really sure......Ant help would be welcome. Dug alot of Iron
that I didn't Picture....I'll be back on Sat morning to see If we can find anything else. Thanks for looking

Nice finds... "Walker" would be the most obvious or "Walken". Try Google on "J Walker Improved button" and see what comes up. Nice finds!!

Take a look at:Restored antique rim (box) locks Page39

i think the last few letters spell extra or j.w. extra improved
looks to be from the war of 1812
imho

Definitely from the lock. Nice research Erik!

Thanks Eric, ya did good bud. If I would have taken a second to think instead of hoping... I would have checked that myself
Thank you for the ID.

Glad to help Greg....It's a cool find for sure! Maybe try soaking it in some vinegar and see if there's any gilt left on it. Nice job brother!

Congrats Gunrunner for finally finding your hole.

Maybe when you are there next time get a shot of it for us to see.

Nice finds, and I'm sure there will be more.

Nice Greg! Ang think that you just had a little while on it. The finds get older the deeper you go. I bet you will score big on this hole. Keep us posted.

I have a hunch you're gonna find some great stuff there. I don't know about the button...except that it resembles the new york "eagle on globe" buttons...

At any rate, check out my post in the cleaning and preservation section on "How to Clean Buttons" and congrats on finding a sweet spot.


Best Wishes,
