[HEAVYMETALNUT]

Todd Hiltz & myself got out to a couple Cellar holes today.1st site coughed up some buttons and fizzled out.We then moved onto next site.It was real quiet there.on the backside of the cellar I got one button and turns out to be a Admiral Vernon Button...circa 1739-1750.unfortunately it looked better dirty as the dirt filled in the pits.Also from the same site was this 1600's laten spoon bowl.Thanks to the guys on American military button page for all the input and IDing it for me.last site coughed up some designed dandy buttons and the tiniest axe head I ever seen.also dug a WWII Naval honorable discharge stud at a newer cellar.Was a great day to be out.

Great stuff! Banner, for sure!!
Dave, your mini axe is likely the Nearly Square (American made) Pre-Revoluutionary Axe, that had a POLL or head outweighing its BIT.

Thanks for sharing this. I have never found an old button but if I ever do I like to have a little knowledge like this. Nice spoon too!
