1840 William Harrison Campaign button

Joe and I headed up to a old hometown cellar hole.In previous hunts this site has given up a few coppers and a colonial gold ring. some overgrown areas and a lot of iron made this a frustrating site in warm weather so,with winter upon us I thought it may cough up a few more goodies.
Targets were very sparse and for 6 hours we dug mostly iron. a nice old spoon on the cellar hole lip a large plain colonial button off the side of road and behind the cellar hole a area that was covered pretty well in previous hunts i got a deep faint button reading at 8 inches.kicked a few inches of leaves off and pinpointed at 6 inches a 1840 William Harrison Cabin Campaign button.hard to make out back mark and shank is gone but front has almost full gilt left.a few buddies have dug em But,I never dug one of these so,it was nice to add this to my collection.

Great score on the WHH button Dave. That is high on my wish list.:congrats:

Nice Dave

Beautiful button Dave... another forum member on here named Luke dug one last month just like it. great piece of early political america history :thumbsup02:

Congrats on scratching that find off your list. Very cool!

Nice finds. I have seen those log cabin buttons dug before but that is by far the best looking dug one I have ever seen. HH, Dave.

Nice one to add to the collection Dave. Glad to see you got out and took home a nice keeper.

That must have been some campaign. Much better than WIN (Whip Inflation Now) buttons :lol: Nice job Dave!

Nice going Dave. Last time I saw one of those was when Frank dug his when we all went out for the 1st time.

great button Dave :perfect10:

Nice button "Tippecanoe and Tyler too"

Fantastic find, another piece for the museum.

Great finds Dave! That campaign button
is awesome. Keep hitting those trusty cellars. HH! :thumbsup01:

I don't know a lot about those old buttons you find, but based on the comments, it sounds like you found a good one.
Congrats on all your cool finds.

nice one dave!
