Old Coppers and 2 Gold Buttons...

[CTDirtFisher]

Hello all!

I got out to a green I've hunted a bunch over the last 2 years... Last trip there 30 days ago yielded a CT Copper... I was hunting this spot in TTF this round...

First Keeper was my 22nd Indian Head for 2011... 1869 IH...

This target was a smooth 12/31 @ 4-5... Any thoughts on this P button?

This was bouncing up to 12/42 and 12/46 @ 11-12...

This button is heavy compaired to a 2 piece brass button... Any ideas on age or significance?

Last keeper was a spotty signal at 12... This sucker was pristine when dropped... but almost 2 decades started to consume her....

1835 Matron Head Large Cent (Coppah #4 for 2011)

HH ALL!
Paul

I'm being told the P button is Police circa 1910...

Nice Indian. Did you see the price of them in the Redbook :shocked04: :shocked04: They have gone up in price since I last looked lol Congrats on your copper and the Police button. The other button looke like grapes and grape vines to me :dontknow: I think it's a nice decorative civilian button, but you can never be sure about it. General guess at around 1820-30. The backmark can tell you more about it, if you can make it out. Great hunt Paul.

It looks like the backmark reads B&amp:beerbuddy: EXTRA which should stand for Benedict and Burnham and would make this 1830's-40's.
