1714 silver coin button in Minnesota

[mattgaudian]

Today detecting a 1850’s property in Minnesota settled by Norwegians I found a 1714 coin button. The button is a Fredrick IV from Norway. Last weekend I found a old Norwegian military button. Interested piece of history.

I've always wanted to find one of those. Still looking... I saw a hunting buddy of mine dig one once. That's as close as I came. Great find.

Wow that is a really cool coin / button. Usually you see this with reales but I'm sure it was done all over the place. Very cool and unique find! Congrats. It almost makes it better than if it was just a plain old silver coin!!!!
