Big surprise today when this beautiful button popped out.

 

[MichiganMan]

Nice. 1820's ?

It's a cs116 va3a. "Soup bowl" variety with no backmark. Definitely pre war but not entirely sure on a date.

 

[Doc Arey]

Wow!

 

[skateandcreate]

Little bit clearer and one cleaned

 

[BuckleBoy]

Great find! I've always wanted to dig one of those!

Very nice early VA

Quick question...Buttons ring up as coins because of shape? Or what do they usually ring up as? Really nice find!

 

[park pirate]

Nice one..

Thanks guys! @dan, this one once out of the ground was screaming pretty high but a lot of flat buttons and such that I dig are mid to low on the scale. I believe it's purely the composition of whatever you're digging but I'm sure other people on here can explain a little more in depth. As for this button a lot of really cool stuff has come out of this spot, such as a few Maryland buttons I've heard of, and the cob I dug last week, but I never expected this one to be hiding in the area!

That button looks to be in absolutely beautiful condition. I've never dug one but, as a Virginian, it's definitely on my wish list. Congratulations.
