First Target...Rev War Button!

[romeo-1]

Got out to one of my favorite sites for a full day of detecting. I got a lot of the usual stuff from this site but the first target of the day was the winner for me. Rev War Era Royal Navy button. This is actually the second one of this type that I found here and appears to be in better condition. There is a lot gold gilt remaining so it should clean up nicely.

O, what a beauty, what a display piece it is.

Man you got to love it when they come out of the ground like that.

Edit: glad I got a nice display piece this year.

Thanks...just a 20 minute soak in lemon juice and light brushing with a soft bristle tooth brush.
