60 buttons in one hole!!!! Flying eagle &IHP spill.then a 2 cent piece, 1818 large ce

First group of photos are the spill. Crazy just pulling handfuls of flat buttons out of the ground. The Artillery button is my favorite. The spill was the last hole of the day took about 20 minutes to get them all. Not sure if someone hid them or lost them? I was probably 50’ away from the cellar hole on another elevated part of the property parallel with the old wagon trail.











The next pictures are my other finds of the day. Scored my first flying eagle!!!2 cent piece was a nice surprise too. What a fun day! Hope you all are healthy. Thanks for the look.

That's a great bunch of finds - Flying Eagle Cents & Two Cent coins are rare finds indeed - a big congrats !

Maybe the Buttons were in a bag that got lost and it just rotted away ?

Good Hunting !

Thanks. Hope I can get a date off the eagle.

The buttons must of been in something right? Someone else suggested that a kid might have buried them there as treasure. If so I hope he hid the family’s coins too.

Me neither I’ve heard of button dumps before but these were all alone in one hole without any tones nearby . Maybe that was grandmas spot to repair the family’s clothes? the skeleton key is awesome I’ve always wanted one hopefully it cleans up nice it’s kinda toasty. Thanks
