6 Button Weekend

[TxTim]

I hit Logan yesterday and met Mike, Steve and Chris (the beep goes on). Had a good day on buttons with 5 - 2 large eagle, 1 medium eagle, a US 132 disc and an ILL. collar disc.
I returned today for a very short look in a different spot and found a large eagle in mint condition! My best by far!

Wow. Super great find. I can hardly wait till spring to start on my new hobby. I did use my son's metal detector and found this Chuckie Cheeze token dated 2001! I know it is junk but it is my first find! I am sooo bitten by this bug that I can hardly wait till my birthday and start hitting the woods in my area.

Sincerely,

I collect US militaria WWI - WWII and what you have there are some WWI tunic buttons and some collar devices. One would be Illinois national guard and one most likely a 132 regiment collar disc. Do the discs have a screw nut on the back?

Hey Matt-

Yes- The collar discs all have screws but no nut (I guess that's why they got lost!)
A quick count of what I have found there in buttons and discs is:
Discs: 1-ILL, 4-USNG, 3-US, 2- infantry- (132 and 6 regiment- Company S)
Eagle Buttons: 4 large, 6 medium and 8 small
Also small shirt buttons that say USA, 9 aluminum dog tags, 2 other IL aluminum ID tags.
