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.

Great find on the buttons. I would have been ecstatic to find all those. Just wondering how they ended up there is neat to think about. Congrats.

I really love finds like this because there is definitely a reason why and so many possibilities to how they ended up together in one hole. Did someone have an emergency and have to scramble back to the house in the middle of repairing clothes. Or were they loading the wagon and these spilled out? Did a kid hide them there? Who knows but it is fun to think about.....

WOW! any remains of a jar or container?

Amazing. I found something very similar in my town a few years ago. Unfortunately they were mixed and 90% ceramic or otherwise. Not nearly as old. Probably early 1900s. Maybe late 1800s.

But fun to dig. There's probably still some there. I got tired of digging.

Looks like some dude back in the day went completely over the top bedazzling a pair of his underwear. That's my guess. Must have taken him forever to sew them all on there.
