Nice finds Gio.

 

[Evolution]

Nice finds. Very cool button.

That's a heckuva button Gio!

That may date early enough to be 1812 era, early 1800s anyway

 

[GioTheGreek]

Thanks, Ironhorse.

I've been told the dates for Clancy Dublin were 1817-1847.

That button is in absolutley fantistic shape for a dug pewter button! What were the soil conditions?

Banner button!

Great looking button.

Banner button!

Rock hard soil, at the moment. Sensitivity was running at 75 % with little chatter. I don't think the ground is too mineralised. Now the nails... that's a different story.

A button can sometimes be older than the service record, but generally it's probably a pretty good indication. Always a bonus when there's some local history included.

• 1838–1839: Nova Scotia
• 1839–1842: New Brunswick

One day you'll find a great early one. They are there!
