buttons

Hello, I collect all types of buttons, and I purchased a box lot of sewing buttons online. In a small box were 11 South Carolina buttons in pretty nice condition. They seemed a different and better quality and condition than most of the military and pseudo-military type buttons I find and they...

Morning all. I just got a new permission and found 3 Warranted Rich Gold Plate buttons. Each button was found about 8-10 inches apart in a straight line and about 8 inches deep. This property has been in the family since early 1700's and has not been picked through. I'm looking forward to going...

I think we've found a camp. I've dug more civil war relics this month than all of last year.

This year I actually wrote down a bucket list of finds going forward and on there was Capped Bust Silver. Well it didn't take long to line that one out. On a new colonial site with VMI and Matt this last week/weekend and we dug an absolute haul of buttons and other relics. It was slow going at...

I recently found a new Camp in Southwest Missouri. So far we have found 11 .69 caliber Minies and 8 flat/coin Buttons. the picture is only what I have found The weeds are as tall as I am so we are waiting for the Property owner to burn them.

I did some research already and have tried comparing it to other buttons online. Apparently the "Great Seal" button is pretty common.. I found this one in Arizona and the Stamp on the back is hard to read.. I may try to clean it up a little... But I forsure know its from City Button Works...

I'm searching for information that would link my recent discovery of gold gilt buttons with the name Rich Orange Warranted on the back side ... to the 1840's fur trade and the North American Indian tribes. Evidence found thus far suggests these buttons may have been going to Bent's Fort along...

Hi I have a box of buttons I'm trying to figure out if they are worth anything and any information everyone could offer! Thanks!

Hi, I received a box full of old buttons to make jewelry with, before making any modifications to them I'm wondering if they're worth anything! Would also love some history on them if anyone can help out. Thank you!

I really a lot of people asking about buttons. So with that being said I have a very good friend and brother who is a button expert second to none. I bet that he can figure out any button especially military buttons. Military buttons are his specialty and he owns his own website...

Hi friends, hope you all are well. John found some goodies the other day, including the tiniest buckle in the world, ha ha. Also a 1902 "V" nickel, a larger brass buckle, a couple of buttons, and a gorgeous pineapple decorative piece with what looks like clip on the back, as if it was worn by...

Hi friends, John finally had a chance to detect for a little bit yesterday. He found another first for him--an 1871 shield nickel. Also a pretty decent 1921 Buffalo nickel. Another big mystery coin (looks bigger than a large cent) that I will have to work on when I see John next. A tiny gilded...

Would like to know if anybody has an idea as to age of this button. If it can be done by the back marks.. Here is a photo of it It has GILT stars on it I think first two letters are TE

Hi gang, Talk about bizarre--the other day we found two, draped bust large cents, and today we find two Morgan Silver Dollars! I should add that John's eight-year-old son, Johnny, found the older coin on his Ace 350! Way to go, Johnny! Also found assorted buttons. The Morgans are 1883 and...

Hi guys, John dug these today, and I can't find a match for them during an online search. Could anyone help us ID these? They appear to be brass or copper? And as you can see, one has a 17 on it and one has a 24 on it. Both found in the same area as our other Revolutionary war finds. Also...

Hi all, just posting yesterday's small haul. Looks like one dandy (macaroni?) and the rest...old. :icon_scratch: Thanks for looking! ~Lisa & John

Hi all, John dug for an hour or so and managed to text me these photos before he broke his iPhone. Enjoy! ~Lisa & John

Hi everyone! John just texted me some new photos from this evening's metal detecting. He wanted to test out his new pointer, and boy did it deliver. We are very interested in figuring out what these things are! Especially cool is the Shield button/broach. We keep finding large, crude pewter or...

I hate to do it but I'm selling a lot of Civil War / Virginia Military Uniform Buttons: eBay item number: 182192600510 I'm starting to clean up my collections.

I cannot identify the era to which this button belongs to. Does anyone here have any ideas? :icon_scratch: Thank You. Note:It was found in the UK on a field that an old roman road went through.

Found these today can find them anywhere

When I dug it, I thought I found silver, wasn't tarnished at all but after cleaning, clearly its a button. My research has led me to believe naval artillery? And here is the last button,

Hi, I'm a new member to TreasureNet. I found the site while looking for information on a "DOZFIT" button I found in a jar full of old buttons. Over the years I have collected many interesting pieces of history while on family genealogy searches, but none I can say I actually dug up myself. Im...

Hello, I am currently doing a project on collecting in particular reference to buttons. I was wondering if anyone would be able to provide me information on their own button collecting. I was wondering how the collection came about? - why do you collect buttons? How do you collect/store the...

Not exactly treasure, but does anybody know where this French military button is from??

Found this first item at an old school house. I would assume it's something automotive, maybe an old spark plug kind of thing? Any ideas? This button was found around an old trading post. I'm not sure if it's actually military or not? Any ideas would be welcomed.

Hello, all. I have enjoyed the photos on this site for a couple of years now. Forgive me for lurking and in advance for any newbie breaches of forum etiquette. I have gathered quite a few "treasures" over my years, but very little official knowledge as far as identification for a lot of them. I...

I got a bag of brass buttons at a yard sale and these are some of them. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.

It's big silver day!!! I had a feeling it was going to be a good day today. Lakemonster and I went to a spot in a small north east Texas town that has, obviously, been overlooked or poorly hit by other MD'ers!! I'm getting too old for all of the up and down stuff, but, it was worth it...

OLD "dancing couple" button found under a torn down school built in the 1800's Does anyone have an idea on the age and origin of this button? Thanks!

Hey! I'm trying to get some info on these old bone buttons. Anyone know anything about them? How old they are or what they could be worth? Any info would be great!! Thanks!!

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...
