Got A Copper Today!

[The Rebel]

Went back to the site where I found the Pres. Adams cufflinks. I gridded the entire site & was rewarded with what looks like a CT as well as this beautiful ball button. Luckily did not see any bears today or any porcupines.

Any ideas on the ball button for age? Was this a military button?

 

[Lodge Scent]

Nice! I've never seen a ball button that still had plating on it.

That spoon is super old! How old is that button? Congrats, Roger!

 

[The Rebel]

Thanks guys! No idea on the age of the spoon. I've been told the button could be an 1830's Military Button.

Is there a backmark on the button?

Is there a backmark on the button?

Nope, it's unmarked.
