Hi !!!
To tell you the truth, in Poland I found such a button in much better condition.
Take a look, almost nice button of this kind looks like this.
Nice find anyway!
But I bet you'll find such a button in mint condition.
After all, you live and search in US.
pozdrawiam Matejko

Matejko, yep that is the same one! The Texas dirt is brutal on certain kinds of metal. This one did not fare well. Thanks for the reply!

No way, man !!!thrillathahunt said:
Dirt is the same, all over the World.You wrote that you found it at the backyard of an old house.
That's why is in such a poor condition. Owner of this backyard simply just took care of it.
Chemicals used for better growth of plants (even ordinary grass) are not quite friendly for metal in the ground.
In Poland at farmer's fields, We also have problems on condition of our finds.
Cos of chemistry used on the field by a farmer.
Mine button came from the sand - soil worthless for a farmer, but invaluable for us.
That's why looks as good as (almost) new. Sand is The King !!!!

Im no expert but we have sand here everywhere in Florida, but its called dirt. Some places have black muck good for growing sugar cane. Some soils have salts. North Florida and Georgia has clay....etc,...etc.Matejko said:Prove it !bigcypresshunter said:no its not.

Never been to Florida, but writing about "sand" I meant sand just beneath a thin (half an inch) coat of soil.bigcypresshunter said:
Sorry about misunderstanding - my language is not as perfect as yours.
To be honest... Speaking is much easier for me than writing.
