Hi all,
finally had a chance to detect for a little while at a friends house where it dates to early 1800's.Near a large tree in the yard I had a nice repeatable signal and out pops a nice button.Tell me what ya think? Militia?

NY seal button. Very nice
NY staff button from the civil war, very nice, does it say extra quality on the back?
Wow that's a dandy!

I was shocked at the condition too. Not deep at all,4" down.I think if I spend some time in the yard I'll find some old silver as well.

you seldom see them "biscuit" type buttons with out any dents or pushed in areas , I know the two similar New York buttons I have are both damage and or stripped of all their gilt . thats a very nice example sir .

Very nice Civil War Era NY Staff button. Beautiful condition!!!
I <3 colonial relics!
Great button and in awesome condition. Agree that with proper cleaning you may be able to see more of that golden gilt.
