Was wondering around an old 1806 home site when I walked by a big rock and found this beauty at only 5 inches deep! Probably My best Flat Button Yet! No design on the front but big design on the back! Research says this one dates 1790-1810!

Beautiful patina! I think I have one with that same wreath on it. I'm going to have to check and see. Congrats and HH, Dave.

That is a real beauty! It's wonderful how the details are highlighted by the green patina. We just don't find old buttons like that here in Illinois.

Love the green patine interlaced with the brown corrosion. Makes it really stand out. Congrats.
