Gorgeous dandy button & more colonial

I got out with the B.O.B's this morning for a rainy cold hunt. It was a long shot Bartek found, based on topography, aerials, and a known colonial road. The results were mixed, but made for a good hunt

The pewter button was a nice find, and a KG2 is always a pleasure. I actually had to sand corrosion off the copper(yes, with very light grit sandpaper), but hey I got an ID. The Dandy is my favorite find. I've never seen an example of this design.

Thanks Jeff. Funny thing is I didn't even see the design with the rain and mud. When I got home I was like "heyyyyy baby.." Lol

Thanks DD. I think it had an orange gilt. I thought it was mud at first. Thanks for looking

Dave, I didn't want to suggest any date in order to solicit unbiased opinions. But that was my thought too

Thanks for looking.

Steve, that dandy is just gorgeous! Look at that intricate design! Jealous here... congrats! -Lisa & John
 

Nice research! Sweet lookin dandy and nice kg2! Glad you were able to get out. Beat of luck and happy hunting
 

WOW... That sure is a Dandy. I liked looking at the toy cars and trucks that people found but it seems I'm starting to lean towards buttons more now.
 

One of the best dandies I've seen here. We need a reference for these something bad...they are just so unique.
 

Not a design I've seen on a Dandy yet - nice one.
 

That's a killer dandy man! I've not seen anything like it before
