Great afternoon.

On June 20 I found my first 1-piece flat button. Members felt it was 1800-ish. On the 21st I posted that I had more, similar signals in the same area and would wait due to the ground being so hard. I went there today and got the 2 buttons shown. The right one was first. 11/16” diameter, bent slightly. It has a burr base for the wire loop (1760-1785?). The left button is more ornate. Also 11/16” diameter. The wire is missing. I cleaned it a little. I believe it was British made. I see the word “colour”. Will post more if it cleans well. Thanks for looking.

Up-date: the ornate button says “Orange Colour “ on the back. There is a design between each word, on each side.

Nice buttons I found the exact same button last year at a farm site dating to the 1830s. https://www.treasurenet.com/threads...farm-and-some-other-interesting-finds.676600/

Thank you! That is definitely the same one. I appreciate seeing the rear shank style; mine was missing.
