More from "button hill"!! Early ROYAL ARTILLERY button, 17 buttons total and more!
Unbelievable! I decided to do a late afternoon hunt around 3:00 at our new spot we call "button hill". I expected to find more buttons, I found 10 on Friday. Did not think I would find 17 more buttons today in a 15 foot stretch along an electric fence. I dug about 3 buttons in a small 2 foot area, walked down dug a few more and came back up just gridding along the fence and dug a beautiful Royal Artillery button. Not sure on the rarity of these buttons, but I haven't seen any posted since I've been a member on this board. The shank is intact and standing straight up. All I have really found on the button is that it was from around 1790's - 1812 era. This brings my button count up to 113 and between my cousin and I we are well over 210 buttons. Whatever this site was, I am so thankful to have it. There's about 5 acres of unlimited buttons to dig it seems like. This is certainly a dream site and can't wait to see what one of us pulls out next! Thanks for looking and HH!
