REAL TRASHY CELLAR HOLE*CIVIL WAR & COLONIAL BUTTONS

Went with Frank today for about 6 hours to this real trashy cellar hole.there is a damn car in the hole! real difficult to detect a site like this but i managed to squeek some finds out.
i think it's a civil war or post civil war general service button in rough shape.
a bullseye designed flat button and a early scovill's designed button.Frank got a matron head large cent and i think it's gonna be a one piece military circa 1830 button.hope he gets it cleaned up soon so i can tell what it is.
now somebody i think on this forum said these mushrooms "chicken of the woods" were real good eating so,i filled a 5 gallon bucket and took em home.washing emm now and waiting for someone to tell me if these are indeed edible.

Great recoverys. I like the way they parked that car. I would not be eating anything someone on here said was safe. I would make sure they were an expert just so it is not your last post.
Nice digs

HMN,

those chicken of the woods mushrooms are pretty choice, but you have to be careful of the tree they're growing on.
stay away from specimens growing on locust and pine. i've never had any trouble drinking alcohol and eating these, but some people get sick on certain mushrooms if
they drink while they eat them.
always a good policy to not eat any mushroom your'e not 100% sure about, though.

there's also a mushroom called hen of the woods that's even better, and looks like chicken of the woods, except it's gray/brown, and seems to only grow under certain big oak trees (doesn't grow under white oaks).

HH, dwayne

That "General Service" button may be something better than that....It appears to be a Staff Officer button....note the lined background and the 3 piece construction.

Then you probably wouldn't want to submerge it--but I think lemon juice would be a safe, "touchless" way to remove the crust from the gilding.

Great finds--I'd take good buttons over coins anyday.
