✅ SOLVED Modern button?

[Dan]

Hello, Found this today in a local park, looks to be golf related, not really sure. Cleaned up well. About the size of a penny. Found only a couple of inches down.
No back
Thanks

You need to post a pic of the back of it for proper ID. Neat find, Breezie

I'm presuming the back rusted off, as they were steel, as can be seen in the link below which is one of several on this type of button, which is a 1900's golf themed blazer button.

Yes, it is a modern-era button. It is from a man's Sportscoat, in this case almost certainly from a golfing jacket. It shows the emblem of the Royal Black Heath Golf Club, a famous one which is located in Scotland. The presence of the emblem doesn't mean it is actually from there, it's just a popular emblem for Sportscoat buttons. Several other diggers here at TreasureNet have found the same type of button and posted it in the What-Is-It forum in the past.

Edit: Nhbenz and I were typing at the same time. I was more long-winded than him, as usual. ;-)

Thanks all for the quick reply!!

I found another button. This time it seems a bit older. I think it might have been brass but not sure. Sorry for the poor pics.
Is there a system to identifying a buttons age?

That one is an old Boy Scout button, with the motto "be prepared" below. Looks pretty old for a scout button too.

Thank you!

that button was from the beginning of the boy scouts.

Beginning of Boy Scouts would date it at around 1911
