Unexpected Button Finds

[foreverRich]

There was a local bar in the city where I live that burnt down. They bull dozed the lot. I have been wanting to hunt it, but there were "No Trespassing" signs everywhere. I happened to see someone getting ready to cut the grass, so went over to talk with them. It turned out to be the owner. I asked if he would mind me detecting the lot. He said it would be fine. was hoping to find some silver coins that had been dropped. I didn't expect anything old, because the bar only dates to the early 1900s. Well in the last few days I have pulled four Civil War buttons from the lot. Talk about a surprise! I was stoked. Here are my button finds from the site so far.
