Dug this button today. Appears to be copper and cone shaped. About half inch. Items found in the area were rev and civil war era. Please provide any info on this type of button. Thanks
I returned to the field I had been hunting earlier in the week. For two days of hunting, I ended up with a variety of old coins and miscellaneous items. I believe I have located the site of a ghost town that disappeared in the 1870s due to the age of the coins. I found no Indians, wheats, or...
Hi everyone,
I found this button in the middle of a (German) forest and I am looking for help on finding the time period it is from. I haven't been able to find even a basic button dating guide on the internet so any suggestions/thoughts would be really appreciated! :icon_thumleft:

I found this button in shallow water off of Bermuda. Appears to be the royal crown but all of my Google searching isn't finding an exact match. Any help would be great!
I was detecting north nashville,tn at a house built in the late 1700's. This house was used by confederate soldiers. I found this button and was wondering how old it might be and if it came from a soldier? I have seen a few like it but none exactly. It is the size of a nickel and has standard...

Last weekend after watching an episode of "Diggers" with my four year old, he insisted on going out in the yard and "digging for treasure." I obliged, expecting to find little as we built a house on the edge of an old Cotton Field.
As expected I found modern nails, screws and little bits of...
I was looking through my bin of finds today and found a button that said Levistrauss a co. I looked online and could not find this variety Vintage Levi's Jeans Guide - Buttons. Any thoughts on what era it's from?
Thanks,
I found this in the sand on the shore of Lake Erie. It's about the size of a penny. I don't know the specific material, but I know it's a metal. There are no other markings besides the "United States" and "13" on the front. I've had it for a few years now and never found out much about it...

Hey There,
I found a Browning, King, & Co button while digging in my garden the other day. It has either "STC" or "STG" on the frontside and you can barely see the Browning, King, & Co on the back. I had read that Browning, King, & Co made a lot of uniforms and college wear until 1934. Does...
Can anyone help me identify this button? I haven't been able to find any information about it anywhere. I've seen some with a similar eagle but the backmark is the thing stumping me. The backmark is United States MFG Co. It also has a ring of dots below the name. I believe it's from the Indian...
Came across this huge ravine that people have been using for years to dump their stuff into...I wanted to pass on a few items I have no idea what even to call...Need help identifiying with much appreciation.
Hi-
These were found under an old house in Charleston. I'm pretty sure they're military and from the 1800s, and that's where my knowledge ends. One was actually found with some fabric still attached! They've been cleaned with some naval jelly.
At first, we thought they were all the same, but...
This was also found digging in the front yard in Charleston. We cleaned it up with some naval jelly. It's a flat button with what appears to be a version of the presidential seal on it. The top banner says 'E Pluribus Unum' and the back says 'Gilt'. How old is this, and who would've worn it...
Went out saturday with a buddy of mine and his wife to hit up his grandmothers yard. She said the house was built in either the 1920's or 1930's. He said he went one time before for just a few minutes before dark and found a couple wheat pennies so we was hopeful and waiting for the nice weather...
Hi,this was found in Ireland yesterday.As far as I know,it says something like P&S Fermin,Strand,London.I avent found this button anywhere on the net.It looks like it was gold plated.The picture on the button looks like a dragon or something,some animal with what looks like an arrow beside it...
? Shank button from 1840's house
This is the first button like this I have found whole and was hoping to get some info on it. I don't know much about these type buttons so all info is greatly appreciated! Also any good tips on cleaning is also welcomed, but nothing that could mess it up, hehe...
OK, one last button for the night. This one is brass. On the back it reads very faintly "Steele Johnson" I can't make out the other word. It measures 2 cm.
Any info is appreciated!
Found this relic hunting today on land that has been in my family since early 1800s. I can't find anything on-line like it and was just wondering what war it was from? Year? Value? It's in GREAT condition. It's brass, slightly larger than a quarter, has "Made in England" on the back and has...
Hey!
I love to collect things and I recently acquired a very interesting collection of buttons. I'm just here to get some info on them. If you could let me know what you think of this set it would be great. Trying to figure age and material for the most part. What they are worth would be nice...
Can someone help me identify several buttons please? This first button has a Roman helmet with sword on the front and on the back it says "A. D. et CII"
Thanks
