Hard hunt today, any help on button ID

Tnrelicman · Jul 14, 2010

Did some hunting at the battle of bulls gap today in TN, very hard hunting and more bitting bugs than a can of off would keep away, one high impact 3 ringer, and a few small lead buckshot looking round balls, and this button that really threw me off, looks like a lady pulling up a childs pants or something, any Id would help.

Nice finds Guy. Any relics out of the hard, dry, Tennessee soil are great finds this time of year. I have never seen a button like that but someone on Tnet has I'm sure. Stay cool and HH.

Way to go Guy. That button is very unusual. I will see what I can find out for you. Did you find them where you and I have been hunting?

This is what is called a story button. I found one a couple years ago and mine depicts a scene out of Tom Thumb. From what I have been told they were popular around the turn of the century.

Here are some pictures of the one I found.

I went back to the hill we detected, I don't think you will soon forget that spot lol, I sweated more, and was bit more than any other hunt I have been on. They could be Quindy, from my understanding this was the front lines of the battle that had some very close fighting, and all of this appear to be fired.
And thanks again for the help on the button to everyone

OMG I remember that hill or should I say vertical incline. I am still trying to find anything on that button. Maybe the camp was on the back side of that monster. We also need to try the backside of the other monster hill where the landowner told us he owns it as well. Boy I can't wait until fall/winter.
