More buttons from the corn field

VERMONTPACKRAT · Oct 23, 2010

This morning I was on the now cultivated corn field. Not a deep plow, but with the corn stocks mostly ripped up. easier swinging.

The buttons keep popping out

Not that I am complaining, I love diggin buttons! One has an , IVES SCOTT CO. backmark, 1830's. The round button was the find of the day! This thing is cool! No back mark :dontknow:

Civilian I am sure, but any info would be great. The small lead ball looks chewed?

Here are the pics, I am adding a group shot of the finds from this property so far.

You found a nice assortment of buttons in that field. That is a ball button (1830s-1840s). :icon_thumleft:

It seems odd that you haven't dug any other coppers yet. They will come. Just keep flipping that dirt over! Thanks for sharing your finds.

Kirk :hello:

It's always good to have a site that continues to produce....Buttons still keep me excited.

That's quite a pile of buttons you've pulled out of there.

Hopefully, you'll be into the coppers (or better !!) before the Spring. You don't always need the deep plow to find new things. I keep finding missed stuff from the most pounded sites around. It's all about patience !!!!

Looking forward to see your finds !!!
