I'm more of a coinshooter, but....I love this button I dug yesterday. Seems to be a 1800s militia button.

Nice button Ken, wasn't a fan of buttons either till I saw people getting excited about them the same with marbles, couldn't figure out why people on the web would be happy about a marble till I saw some are worth some money LOL. Now I like finding them as well and search their types.

Very nice find! Irish militia from mid to late 1800s. Ones of this type in primo condition can fetch $50+, but alas with some corrosion your's is probably only a few bucks. Regardless a very nice find and congrats.

Nice find Ken. I wasn't much of a button man until I started hanging out with Digger Don and saw all the cool buttons he was finding. Now I like them as much as old coins! Thanks for sharing and HH, Dave.
