Buttons Buttons Buttons!

[Bell-Two]

The last couple of field hunts have given some finds, mostly relics and buttons….lots of buttons! I went out to a site that has given some nice items including Large Cents and marbles…a lot of marbles! So of course I found a marble and one coin an 1885 Indian Head.









The next hunt was to find a site that was an old frame house, Diane and I after a bit of searching were able to locate it and our finds were mainly buttons. It was late in the day so we had a short time and will come back here.



My next hunt was with a friend who took me out to a few of his spots, one of the spots we found was way out in the middle of a bean field…and when I say way out I mean way out! It was slow at first then the buttons started popping out. I ended with 9 flat buttons, a pocket knife and a few other relics including a tag that was sort of chewed up. It does have the word Home on it and some other writing I cannot make out, maybe type of bale seal? I have no clue. I got two little brass cups, you can see where a handle was attached most likely from a child’s play set.

The one in which we found the buttons I think would be around 300 acres!

Hey, how come my detector won't sound off on a marble ? Nice bunch of finds. I could dig buttons all day long and be happy. Interesting piece of acorn-shaped glass. Is that pocket knife bone or shell ??

Bone handle.

Congrats on the button haul. I agree with Lodge Scent. That glass acorn piece drew my eye- pretty cool.

WTG on getting all those buttons. Would love to be able to get 9 in a hunt.

Looks like it was well worth the walk in that field. Congrats on all the cool buttons.

Great variety of flat buttons, love it when you can get days where ya dig a bunch of em. I'd say those fields deserve a return visit! HH!

Very nice buttons you found there. They look mostly like common early types but I agree with the earlier post...I could dig buttons all day long and I'd be a happy camper.
