I hunted around an old redoubt that was made in the 1860s and finally dug a few nice old royal engineer tunic buttons along with the buckles and horeshoes that you just have to take home...thanks for looking...cheers des

we all do, its not just age that makes it up there, & maybe it will be more important than just a gold coin, they get up there all the time :wink:
 
Nice set of buttons, looking really fine on the wood backdrop. :icon_thumright:
 
Real nice buttons Des :icon_thumright: Yes, it would be great if a Kiwi made banner.
