Hi all,

Is this an old button? Found on the top of a plowed 1600s field.

thanks!

Looks like a flat button, nice find!

Probably not as old is that field, but could be a 1700s button. It’s a good sign so detect that field well.

I’m thinking the earlier part of the 19th century. Keep at it!!

Once gilt flat button circa 1790-1830.

Wow, thanks everyone! Even better than I had expected. Sitting right there on the surface!
