New to this forum......Found this button and several others detecting in Jersey the other day. Can't seem to find anything about it on the internet. Does anyone have any information on this they could share with me? (Measures approximately 3/4" in diameter) Thanks in advance.

Found this little beauty while recombing an area that I've been over with the ATPro at least 50X. Signal with the 800 was predominantly 12, touching 11 & 13 periodically, so right in there with pulltabs & nickels. I assumed pulltab before I broke dirt & was more than happy to see a button at a...

This button was found by a friend in Western Massachusetts. Seems to be a potential sports man button? But that’s just a guess. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, and Happy Hunting.

I found these buttons at a 1850's church. The plain rounded button is brass or bronze I believe. The other is aluminum I believe but does not ring up as aluminum on my machine. I know very little about buttons so please help with dating them. They very well could be newer I have no clue. Thanks

Searched a new field with friends and had a great haul. King George 1724, pewter button, a few other dandy buttons but found one button that I haven't seen before and wondering if it is the same time period. It is glass over a gold design with an iron backing. I'll include pics with the other...

I went to another cellar hole today, along a ATV/Snowmobile trail. I was happy with the buttons and buckle parts I was finding, then I found this!! I didn't know what it was at first, but saw the bust and writing and knew it was good though. I was fantasizing about it being a George...

We went to this site once before with just the bounty tracker iv, but now that we've got an AT pro we are revisiting some places and taking turns with that machine. Oddly, we each kind of prefer the Bounty hunter :laughing7: Some places are better than others with the AT pro and it takes a while...

A friend of mine has this his really cool, super old button. He's had it for years but not too much background on it. It belonged to his father who had an Amazing eye, and many beautiful finds himself. All we know is this button was found in Nevada. Has anyone here seen anything similar or have...

Hi, I would appreciate some help identifying this button. I believe this is silver or silver plated. It says "safe driver - no accident three years". Thanks for looking!

Dug this on a old military ammunition depot. Dates back to early 1900's and possibly older. In the shield under the sabers is the number 8. Thanks for any help.

Hello everyone! A good day of detecting turned up this old one-piece button. I am assuming it is quite old, as it was about 10 to 12 inches deep, and I could only pick it up on my pulse induction machine. Unfortunately, I do not know too much about this kind of button, so any info would be...

I had found this little coin a few months back, but had thought it was a button. After some research I realized it’s actually a 1 cent 1956 coin from Mexico, it says ‘Estados Unidos Mexicanos’. Except on the back it appears to look like a button loop. So I thought maybe someone made the coin...

So I bought a minelab explorer xs for 15. Looks like new but the guy left batteries in it for a long time and they leaked. Corroded some contacts which I cleaned. The power wires to the control circuit board were broke too which I resoldered. Put new batteries in and it turns on without pushing...

Hi everyone, I found this button at a house built in 1820 in Lunenburg, MA. Pictures show the front and back. I think the shank is iron, it's slightly magnetic. It's a silvery color, and has concentric rings on the backside, as though it was spun when made. I'm wondering if this is tombac...

I thought this was just a typical Great Seal Button, but I was not aware that they came in Different Sizes and Shapes, this one is smaller in diameter than the one I recovered just a few days earlier and it has more of a dome to it than the other one. This one is made by N.S. Meyers Inc. The...
