Zachary Taylor is Rough and Ready

[DeArmitt Pa]

Well we went back with Mach 1 Pilot and it was a short but good hunt. Got the Zachary Taylor button at about 4 inches deep. Unfortunatly the steel back rotted away. I also got an iron buckle and a large axe. A Mortise Axe to be precise, circa 1760's.

Then Bedford Bob and I went to another site and this is where I got everything else. A bunch of bits, some flat buttons, a 1915 Dog Tax, a wheatie, and a arrow head, but a broken point.

I hate to say it, but I am a bit envious of that mortise axe. Sweet find! The button is cool too, and I like the other relics, as well.

Yes he was "Rough & Ready! Very nice 1848 Presidential Button!

As Kuger stated earlier I was fortunate enough to find the same button as yours last year! I hope you don't mind me posting a picture of it and the 1850's clay pipe of Zachary Taylor who unfortunately died in office in 1850.

My button

Again, very cool find! Congrats!!
