Nine matching buttons!

[MKW]

I went back to the old homesite that I stumbled upon near my neighborhood where I found the SC button and the railroad key. I found lots of targets to dig, but the most interesting finds where some buttons. First, I found a Nunnally's Engineer button from some overalls. Then, in about a 3ft area, I found nine matching buttons that all have a train on them. The backs of the buttons was iron and all rotted, but when I cleaned the fronts, the trains came through. They are not in great shape, but I think they are really cool. Can't wait to get back.

Nice! I love those work clothes buttons with trains! There are a lot of different ones with train engines on them.

Those are really cool plus the key and other stuff from your last hunt. Time to tear into that place some more shes giving up her treasures. Well done.....Tommy

Thanks, fellas. There's more stuff there for sure. I just gotta wade through tons of trash signals. I found almost all of a cast iron stove also. And a Coke bottle from a store that was here from 1853-1938.
