Found some more COLONIAL goodies, BIG BUTTONS, BUCKLES

[Wes-N-VA]

Got out the other day and found some more colonial era stuff to share with everyone. Started off with a bang as the two big flat buttons were my first and second targets for the day. Never got into a groove on this day but I managed some nice keepers. Thanks and enjoy the pictures of Virginia history.

Nice historical finds! Congrats! I can't imagine buttoning clothes with a button that size, no wonder they were hardy people! If you back handed someone you'd leave a mark!

Nice finds. I especially like the shoe buckle frame. Most I find are broken into pieces. Clean it up and get some close up shots of it.

That's one giant button Wes. And I love that "buzzsaw" design on the front. Should be some more oldies to be dug at that spot. Nice hunt.

Man I love the HUGE buttons. Digging lots of flat buttons at some sites here in Tennessee but never get any of the really large ones, and certainly none as decorative. U R rockin on the Colonial relics. Congrats
