Some buttons are worth finding !!!!!

[robfinds]

These are this mornings best finds. Signals were few but, the silver button, made up for that. Once again sunny but very cold, in the wind. I detected the field where I had the two hammered coins, the other day. First find was the livery button, with the fowl on it, 18th/19th century. Followed quickly by the lead medieval token. This small field give's these up on a regular basis. Last and by a long way best, the silver button. It's wonderful piece of 17th century workmanship. Obviously very happy with this find. Robert.

Cheers Dale, just looked it up. It's classed as a cufflink, made to commemorate the marriage of Charles II, to Catherine of Braganza in 1662. Robert.

Beautiful with makers mark, stunning condition and ID. What more can you ask for?

That is a beautiful silver cufflink and knowing the history behind t is a real bonus. I wonder how they came up with that attribution though?

Cheers Steve, good question, suppose the crown signifies a royal wedding. Robert.

Damn Rob I’m in love with that cuff button. What a beautiful piece in great condition. I suppose I Love 17th Century pieces a bit more because they’re about as old as I’m likely to find here. Old silver has a very special look to it imo
