This is my first post and if I do something wrong please let me know. I found the gold oak leaf button or cuff link a while back in the drive of an old church using a Tesoro detector. It was in an area in Indiana where the church has been gone for a long time and an old grave yard sits behind where the church used to be. The gravel drive was littered with tab tops from night time parkers and I was about to give up when I hit this deep target and felt that it might be below the tabs. It measures almost an inch diameter and is a quarter of an inch thick. The sides are copper or brass, the background is gold and the stones could be rubies or garnets. The oak leaves make up the background design and that's about it. What time period is it from and any other info. I found the other button last week also along the entry to an old homesite family cemetery. This is a really old cemetery that I have a 5th great grandparents interred there. There are also 2 Rev. war and 3 civil war vets there. The button is a typical looking coin button, but it appears to be silver with a radiating design in the middle. Can anyone give me a time period and any other info you might have. thanks, and I hope I can get the pics downloaded.
