    Triple Copper weekend and lots-o-buttons

    Got out with Dave Saturday and a very late start on Sunday. Nabbed me two Connecticut's and a King George II. Saturday we spent most of the morning scouting possible new sites and then finally settled in. Turned out to be a great day as I was lucky enough to save 5 coins. Sunday was more of a button day for me. We went back to a spot that has been pounded by us and other dectorist but I really worked the cellar hole lip most of the time pulling out close to 20 buttons from the iron infestation. The last picture has me baffled. Don't know what it could ne but it looks like they tried hammering it into something

    Tony, it is not silver but probably brass and copper. Actually I found 3 coppers not 6. Thanks. Tony

    Nice set of finds as always. Is that a piece of original fabric still attached on one of the buttons?

    Yes BTV, that is original thread still in one of the buttons. We find them like that on occasion.

    I'll second that, complete cuff links are always fun to find and some of them are really interesting

    Thanks George, I actually thought they would clean up better. They looked better out of the ground.
