I've got a Seated half dollar, a seated quarter, a handful of seated dimes. But for the life of me, I can't seem to get my coil over a seated half...

I wonder if it smells as good as Renaissance wax? :shocked01:

I’m going with Canadian Sausages. They regularly provided sausages to the thirteenth colonies, competing with Great Britain. VERY RARE BUTTON. I...

Wait a minute.... you rub your silvers? Don't tell anyone or you might get banned! LOL. I'm like you. I like to leave as much patina as possible...

Yeah I heard others say too, I can live with a small 1/16 hole. Just easier to me but I am not really a purist in the sense as I clean my silver to...

Donnie, I also use Renaissance wax but I'm almost halfway through the little container! I compared the two waxes and this new stuff is a lot stiffer...

The only thing I'm not doing is drilling the relic. I'm thinking of using a rat-tail file to get through a bit of rust so I can get good contact...

Noah, It's an AWESOME button! I'm thinking CS stands for Canadian Sausages. Don't you live near a Canadian sausage factory? Actually, I like the...

I don't know guys, I don't see an S. To me, it looks more like 3 C's or 3 horse shoes. The mystery continues!!!

Thanks very much. Raises all kinds of interesting possibilities. Has 13 stars wrapped around it which is why I thought military. Shank is solid. ...

I love buttons but old silver runs a close second! Thanks for subscribing.

Great looking button Noah! I agree with fyrffytr1 that it looks possibly military. One other possibility is it could be old Chicago Transit line...

See below...

I’m pretty excited about it. Would have missed it but for the cold weather. Just can’t find another like it on line. Where is Don when I need him?...

Much better! :thumbsup02: The button appears to have CS on it, or maybe it's SC.

Here’s the back

Is that better?

Funny simple solution (cleaning) seems to be the problem. I can’t believe the gunk that was on the lens! I’ll try taking a better photo

He must be steaming up his lens with all that heavy breathing. ;)

Next time I see you I'm going to give you some lens cleaning wipes!!:hystericallaugh:

Sorry for the lousy photo. I failed my photography class in high school (always left the cap off too long and subject always moved to much). I...

Lots of gold gilt left on that button. Hope someone confirms that it is military.

Excellent detecting job for a day in January. Great start to the new year.

The ground is frozen in spots and, especially, around the rocks of the cellar holes. This past Sunday I probably spent over an hour on the lip of a...

Nice. Gotta love Seated coins.

I use Renaissance Wax. It is used by The British Museum for relic preservation. I don't use it on silver. All of my bronze and copper coins, relics,...

I tried enhancing your photo but the device on the front is still not identifiable. A better picture of the front and any markings on the back of...

Noah, is the picture under water? Looks like a nice military or cadet button but I can't make out the design!
