in this first picture is a gathering of buttons i've recovered metal detecting in the last 2 1/2 years :shocked01: :twirlingeyes: , your job is to tell how me many buttons there are without going over the actual number :thinkingabout: . these buttons are of all types (1-piece , 2-piece and a few 3-piece) and from the very large to very small , there is one picture with a size reference that shows one of the larger and smaller buttons in the pile with a walking liberty half dollar.

lol I thought about that ... going through his past 2 1/2 yrs of posts and counting them. I betcha Dan has posted most of those buttons! That would sure be a lot of work wouldn't it... Kinda desperate... rofl

Okay smarty pants Al -I'll go ahead and guess:

1,037 buttons |:cheering:
 
WOW Dan, AWESOME collection of buttons :perfect10: I was going to say 1,000,000 before I got a look at the photo. :cheesysmile: My final answer is 2257 :beerbuddy:
 
anyone else up for the challenge :eyebrow: lets keep them guesses comming people :yes:
 
:wow: What a collection!

:yes: Great contest... It's very nice of you!

:thinkingabout:Let me think...

:eyebrow: Difficult to count... I can see at least four hundreds of them at the first look... And it seems that there's a lot in the middle nder the top layer...

:interesting: My guess... There is [glow=yellow,3,300][size=36pt]689[/glow] buttons on that picture! :yes:
