Old Buttons And A First For Diane!

[Bell-Two]

Diane and I took advantage of nice day to get out to the field where I found the Colt Trigger Guard to see if we could find some more parts to the revolver. We did not have luck there but we did get a few things mostly bits of brass and things like that Diane found the handle piece of what I believe is a straight razor. We moved to an adjacent field where again I was detecting and not finding much! As we were getting ready to leave Diane got a scratchy coin signal and dug her first ever Fatty Indian an 1863. She was very happy with that bucket lister....funny she previously dug two Flying Eagles before...but the lack of the Fatty Indian was bugging her! We then moved on to another field where at last I made a couple of finds a cuff sized flat button and a late 1700's Flower button with an unusual shank where it appears the wire part is a separate piece from the attachment piece.

I've dug lots of buttons and seen lots of buttons but I don't recall seeing one with a shank like that. Very cool !

Grats to Diane for the fatty. Those aren't that easy to come by. That is just one of those things... Like how I could pull up a few KG2 and state coppers, but nothing between 1787 and 1818. No Draped, No capped bust, no classic heads, no Fugio, nor flowing hair. (Unless that latest is confirmed DB.. but there still are 4 other varieties lacking. That button is interesting cuz it looks like a pewter hue, yet it looks broken like a tombac. Not just the odd shank.
