I dug a coat size over 14 years ago and yesterday finally found a cuff to go with it. I've seen several others turn up in my part of the world, even 4 on my hunts... so guess it came around to my turn again.

That is such a beautiful button! It is worth the trouble of putting some kind of faux gold color on it to bring out the design's beauty better?

I wish it looked like the one an old detecting friend dug about 2 years after I found this one. It was the silver plated version, and was stunning. He actually found the cuff version on the same hunt! ...and it was very nice as well. So it has taken me a very long time to get what he did in a day, and my examples are nothing close to the ones he found, but I am still very happy to have dug them.
