Congrats! Hopefully there is a design on it, but right now I don't see anything.
 

Also got some lead, but this is it brushed off with a brush. I don’t say anything but I love it. It’s in an area where I find a lot of three ringers what era are these buttons from?IMG_1902.webp
 

Congrats! Now that you've got your first one, time to find about 10000 more! You could let it dry out some more and toothpick it a little bit.
 

Congrats on your first Dandy Button, Truth.
 

Congrats. As long as you can't see anything on the button, do not clean it, you'll ruin the patina. To "see" the button a little better wipe some oil on it, it would bring out any detail and you can then wipe it off.

Cooking oil?
 

Congratulations on your first Dandy Button!
 

Cooking oil?
A little Vaseline or mineral oil will sometimes bring out the detail. But I only do that when there is no patina.
 

You go, dawg! I've only found one and it was a great day. Nothing like those firsts!
 

I like WD-40, it evaporates easily and can be removed quickly with detergent.
