USA Button! and another Fugio !

[Jeff H]

Went back to a site with a buddy where I had dug a Fugio, counterfeit KGII, a CT Copper and a Draped Bust earlier in the month. After watching my buddy pull 4 coppers including a Vermont and Connecticut, several shoebuckle parts and flat buttons, I finally hit on the Fugio to add to my few buttons.

Deep Fugio. This is the second Fugio from this site!

Just prior to digging the Fugio, I had dug a strange looking button. I couldn't make out what was on it (need reading glasses). I showed it to my buddy as we where packing up to head out. When I saw a look of shock in his face I figured it must be something good. I was in shock to realize I had dug a USA button ! That's the first Revolutionary War relic I have dug. I am not going to clean it at this point.

Hows the reverse/shank of the button?

Good find, it would be a very hard clean that one. Just watch it doesn't dry out, although it looks stable enough.

The USA is a fantastic find! Leave her alone, and good luck with that site!
