just a button

[djkam]

this button i found in clay near the northsea in friesland/Europe, at the same spot and depth i found a coin dated 1659 so it must be quite old, it looks like silver, almost black but on the scale of my Garrett gtax750 it reads a steady 4 and thats more like a German mark, the wire is made of copper/brass and at the back it looks really handmade because of the irregular surface. the front is and almost exact ball-shape.
that's all for this week, next term of hunting will be Saturday evening, i hope i will find something to post then!

nice button, if it is as old as you say it is, it is probably rare because flat buttons were more common

Sure does beat a pull-tab or twist cap! Nice old relic from the past, thanks for sharing!

The weekend can't get here fast enough for me!

Its a 17th century Pewter button. Might be iron core with pewter coating.
