Florida 1830's buttons.

Here are some of the old buttons I have found this month in South Florida. They are all beach finds and date to the Florida Seminole indian wars era.

looks like you did better then the archaeolgists on the site ,are you going to give buttons to the conservicy? or are you going to sell them.protected sites should be just that protected.there are also graves on this site .could be coins on a dead mans eyes.

Please do not get your panties in a wad, always look at the date of any link that is posted. Diggummup was kind enough to post an article from early "2011" that shows that the kinds of finds that I have made recently in "January 2012" can in fact be made on Florida beaches. I was lucky enough to make my old finds while searching some out of the way beaches looking for Spanish treasure, no protected sites, no graveyards just recently eroded beaches that no other beach hunter looking for modern tourist gold would even bother hunting. I will be posting some more really cool finds soon, hopefully someone will post a different article from a year ago and you can make some other strange connection to my finds.
