Excellent finds - really like the last year minted Barber Dime ! :icon_thumleft:
It's my second 1916 this year. Also found a 1892 first year. So far this year I found 10 Barber dime's.
 
Nice button , myself I like finding buttons over coins! Unless they are gold ones
I have found a couple of nice buttons recently. Most of the plain buttons I find I give to a friend in metal detecting club.
 
Great finds 65vanman. Love that button. Optimus Prime would be proud!
I am trying to find out what year the button is from. The Waterbury Police department formed in 1853.
 
Good day of hunting, congrats on the 2 silvers and the button.
Have you ger a good picture of the back of the button?
