Couple hours at the cornfield today. Got my 3rd ever civil war infantry button, but it kinda got destroyed when I cleaned it, plus some buck shot, a flat button, and a surprising 1913 barber dime (silver 19 fty)
Thanks for looking and hh!! 20170507_075003.jpg20170507_075030.jpg20170507_100727.jpg20170507_100750.jpg20170507_120730.jpg20170507_120617.jpg20170507_120434.jpg

Good looking digs, congrats on all. That button looked like it was predisposed to break where it did, so don't feel bad.
 

Those buttons are great finds in any condition. They not​ going to survive many more years so it's great when one is saved. Congrats on the coin as well. [emoji106]

I too am guilty of destroying something while trying to clean it. I am a lot more careful now but sometimes it happens no matter what

yep, I thought I'd try a little toothbrush under the faucet, well that wasnt a good idea lol
 

Congrats on the nice assortment of finds cjon, I do not fair as well in the local fields. Love the button.

Thanks Kevin, not in the best shape but I'll take it!, this field has been great for me for 6 yrs now. Old maps show a homesite right where I figured it was. We stumbled upon the field on accident almost and right away we were finding glass, brick, nails, then bam, button, largies, button relic, etc. Man I need another field like that !
