That's a fantastic find. After a million holes in the ground, I would never find one of those in the midwest. Congrats on a great find. jgas

you got that right, at least a million holes, well i guess 1 out of a 1000.000 is'nt bad :P

Ain't that the truth. I said the same thing for our trade silver finds here.... 1 brooch in 35 years combined. That has to be a lot of holes to find one piece of trade silver! And it's also amazing how many holes we dig looking for all the things we never do find, and some being not particularly rare.

I find everything I look for and then some

Stay off the 95 brotha!

Not sure what you meant with the last two posts? You made some great finds in CA, but in your new digs, Holy Cow! How's everything else back east?

Now that was a good hour! I wonder if the hole was to wear it after the shank broke.

Absolutely. I find a lot of large buttons with off-center holes for wearing here. Seems like the early settlers in my area also recycled buttons wen the shanks broke--by punching two or more holes into them.


Great find!
