It wasnt a "Button Hill"

It wasn't a "Button Hill"

...or a coin hill, or an anything else hill, because today was tough! But in the last field we tried, on the button slope I found at the end of the day, two of them had the number 62.

Wow great buttons buddy! Those are some beauties. Did you have any of those in your collection?

 

[rodarian]

Lovin the looks of those!

Not a bad way of ending the day with a pair, it might of been a whole different outcome if you had started there.

I have a silver officer 1812, but think these might date Rev War, and obviously they are pewter... so the answer is I didn't have any.

That's funny because it was the first field we went to, but went to many others and failed, only to go back. But we had enough time, at least where the buttons came from because there was very little for signals.

Wow, I have found many plain colonial flat buttons, and even some with designs, but never a regiment button. Congrats.

Good Job IP, 2 numbered pewters is a good hunt any day...I think, as I've got the grand total of one to date.
Any other finds ? or are those just the only ones you thought worth posting ?

Your pair beats my king high

That crunchie George lll is all I got to show for the day, but better than nothing I suppose

If we weren't wading through fields of mostly knee high stubble we might have done a bit better, give me a nice bean field anytime!

 

[collector01]

Awesome buttons! Would like to get my coil over them! HH!

 

[treblehunter]

Oh that's what a real one looks like, lol
Nice finds.

It's not how you start it's how you finish!

 

[Ia.FurTrade]

Nice buttons, Iron Patch!

 

[ironhorse]

Truer words have never been spoken

Just a few weeks ago I was saying the same thing

And that turned out pretty good , just like today!

 

[parsonwalker]

Way older than anything I'VE got! Really cool!

Button hills come along every blue moon. Your sites sound like the typical site, only you made a couple great finds to show for the lack of quantity. I'm waiting for my first regiment button...maybe soon at my spot. Congrats to you!
