Made a good find today. Texas Navy button, and an old buckle.

Thought I would give it a try to see if I could come up with another button. To my supprise I found this Texas Navy Button. I wish I could get the picture to come out clearer. Hope your enjoy.

Added a couple of more pictures of the button. Maybe its a little clearer.

The Texas Navy button date is 1837 to 1838. I have found six Navy buttons, one Texas Marine Corp., and one Republic of Texas Army Staff button. Its a real thrill to find such. They are not for sale.....

WOW!! Could you post a picture of the Texas Marine Corp button?

Great button and congrats on making the banner. My avatar is my first button and I think I'm hooked now. I never really got it before, but I agree, much better than a coin. Making such an awesome valuable find gives us all hope.

Congrats on the banner. You're making me jones a MD. It's cool how one man's trash is another man's treasure. I'm almost positive I've just tossed aside buttons. Never really thought of them as collectable before. good job!!!!

that is one great and rare find and still in good shape to boot -- its a banner find all the way

 

[Admiral de Salee]

Sometimes a find here does several different things at once: Educates those who didn't know Texas ever had a Navy and Marines (at least I guessed pre-Mexcian War correctly); gets a reply from PBK that's bubbly enough to bring to mind Calvin Coolidge laughing out loud in a speech; and boggles the mind with its condition and gilding after spending maybe 168 years in the ground. Amazing!

Hats off to an impressive find, I hope just reading this gives me luck this season I have been researching a new area via Flash earth. I have never touched nor seen such a relic like this ever. Cheers & a hip hip hooray!!!!!!

Amazing find, I hope folks are realizing thats not US-TEXAS NAVY, thats TEXAS navy- when it was a independent Nation. Very Rare and unique find. Amazing.
