Looks like a great field for detecting! Congrats on all the finds. Is that a ball button? I've heard of them but never seen one dug. Can you post some close ups? Thanks and HH, Dave.

I dug a few of these last year too. I think they are off a shoe, but not 100% certain.

What a great looking, low cut field Ken and congrats on your finds! I dug my first ball button just last year and find those very cool.

Very nice finds and congrats on that shield nickel! Field looks a lot like the bean fields here in Wisconsin when they aren't under 4 feet of snow!

Way to go on the Shield Nickel! I'm glad you added some closeup photos of both sides of it. They don't turn up too often. You found some nice old buttons too.

:congrats:
