Whole Lotta Buttons & An IH

[The Rebel]

Got out for a bit today and nabbed a whole lotta buttons. One has an interesting Shield like design on it and one has the thread still in it.

Great finds! Love the big spun tombac button. The IHC is first year 1859! Congrats and happy digging, Dave.

I love thread on the old buttons! Such history! So many targets! Nice job, Rog!

Thanks Guys! My 2nd 1859 IH. I'm always amazed when I dig a button & the thread is still there after 100+ years in the dirt.

Nice digs Rebel. I agree....thread on the shank is always very cool.

I also love the buttons. In case you didn't know, your A.Benedict button dates from 1823-1829. I see at least one more backmark in your pictures,

Very nice finds! The shield design almost looks like a strawberry or acorn. Nice score on the big tombac too!
