Hi All My Fellow TH'ers
Well I did not find a lot of super items on Saturday, 05/06/2023, but I did find one item that to me was different. I found a button that appears to be made of glass. It does have a small loop on the back that is intact. I am guessing that it dates to the early 1900s. This was dug out of a 1700s house site. Lots of melted glass and square nails make using a metal detector difficult at best. My TH'ing buddy and I have found many coins and Civil War relics in this site. I hope that everyone finds a bucket listed on your next TH! ;-)

Nice recovery​

Victorian Czech buttons were from the 1850's -1900's.​
