Trip to NJ: Met up with Neil in West Jersey & jerseyben. Found a cool silver button?
Was back in New Jersey visiting family for the past few days and was able to get
out with Neil in West Jersey and jerseyben. It was very nice meeting up with them and had a blast!
I picked up an older looking Navy button. Any ideas on age? Unfortunately, I can't read any lettering
on the back.
A bit into the hunt, Ben pulls out a large cent! Couldn't get much details then and
there, so I'll have to check what it ended up being. A few minutes later I got a
12-47 on the e-trac at about 5-6 inches. This is usually a quarter signal. Was
excited thinking it could have been a large cent, but it was quite a surprise (and still very excited) to see
something silver come out of the hole. Does anyone have any idea what it went
to, or what its age could be? Looks hand-engraved. Was thinking it's maybe a
coat button? Weight is 5.5 grams. Although I haven't tested it, I'm 99.9% certain
it's silver. No hallmarks or makings of any sort. Pretty cool though.
Took a video of it while at home:
A big thanks for Neil and Ben for meeting up with me!
