Hey guys found this old button with a strange design,looking at the shank it looks real old.any thoughts? I also recently found out i have 4th stage cancer,it came out of nowhere,60 years old and decent health i thought,been detecting Salem co. NJ for over 20 years and have found some amazing items but i have really enjoyed this site as i have been a member since 2008 and love seeing what everyone else found and the story,so as i was laying on the couch the other day with extream back pain. i medicated my ass and decided yes you guessed it to go metal detecting for possibly the last time.this 1723 house was what i needed and the amount of wonderful relics i found there thru the years was unreal i thanked the people who let me detect there when i got there.so i never asked their last name and it was Harvey, i remember finding a colonial period family crest button that when i looked it up it was the Havey crest wow what where the odds? i will present it to them soon.but i know one thing for sure i will miss detecting,it was my favorite hobby with fishing a close second. so i thank everyone on here and if i get the another chance i will detect again,even in heaven. p.s. if any you guys near me want to come down here i will show you some places to hunt,if i can walk then i'am going too.
That is not your last find! The “tone” of your post indicates to me that you are a fighter. I pray for your healing in the name of Jesus!!! Merry Christmas pigeonman.
Love that oldie, glad that button came your way. Wanted you to know I was in the same boat as you 6 years ago with stage 4. Stay positive, family, eat well, metal detect every chance you get. Hang in there Mr.
All I can say is stay strong and dont give up hope. That is a beautiful button by the way. Here is to more in your future. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.
pigeonman, we're all thinking of you and pulling for you. Good luck in your fight, and know that the community supports you and cares about you.
I love that button - congrats on the find!

Terry,
If this happens let's do a convoy. I'm near the Poconos and can meet you along the way and finish the drive following you. I'm a little over 2 hours from Salem so no excuses if you're driving from Upstate NY. Thanks- Bernie
My wife beat stage 4 ovarian cancer this year. She is 60. It was a tough road but we did it. Hang in there.
Prayer going out to you.
Oh and nice button.
