Detector(s) used
what ever works
With winter closing in and ground getting hard we did some woods hunting .
My hunting bud had a buffalo before i even set up my detector. My tector was acting strange so i went home
to get another .When i got back Doug says he got a Indian and wheat is same hole. I hit a wheaty.
He pulls a silver 5 cent Canadian .I'm gettin killed here. I get a good hit and up comes a button so i toss it in
my pouch and we move to another site. New site gave nothing as we were leaving i get one last good hit.
Out drops a 1834 Large. OK i can hold my head up now. Went home and washed off button . :hello2:

Nice button? Any history to it?
 
Nice one! Listed in Alberts as MS 19. Doesn't say much other than it's post war and one of the backmarks is Rich Quality London. I'd guess they date about 1820s... your mark might be able to date it for you, but the "quality" type backmarks tend to not be as tight to date as a makers mark. I'd be very happy to find one of those.
 
Here is the back of the LC and is uncleaned with good detail for my dirt . Thanks Mike

cool finds The Mass button dates 1814 or so.
i think a nice one books for about $60
 
Very neat button. Your large cent is either 1844 or 1854, because it's the Braided Hair variety. Congrats on those nice pulls!
 
good finish..and good pics...congrats..
 
Nate your right 1844. You can see better than me from 1000 miles away. Thanks
 
Awsome button, and in great shape too! Tice lists your's "warranted plated" and he dates it around when vayank said, "first quarter of the 1800's." You went out with a bang with these two finds. Nice going. :icon_thumleft:
 
Nice end of the year hunt. I really like that button with the bow :thumbsup:
 
im all over large cents but in this case id take the button all the way. congrats. willy
 
Love the big old coppers but that button is very cool. :icon_thumright: Congrats on a good score to end the year.
