First buttons and they were back to back.

Was out working on a motorcycle at a fellows place in the back roads of west virgina today and after wrenchin for a few I asked them about metal detecting some areas nearby. Little did I know I was in for a good little quick trip. We did some walking around an old barn and house and right away I was getting good digger signals. I didnt want to go crazy right off the bat so I held my composer and kept walking the ground. I walked on the side of the house near the old cellar and found an old clothes line, yep thats were I had a couple good hits. I got on my knees and got my plug out of the ground about 4". I took a swipe and yep I got it. At first I thought I had a coin and nope MY FIRST REAL BUTTON. Yeah for me. The very next whole about 2 ft away was another. Could not believe it. . Well The guys didnt think much of the buttons. They were wanting a coin I guess. I dug about 12 holes all together. Was there about 1 hr so I hope to be able to get back there very soon. I didnt have the camera with me until I had got home. Have some dirty pics but cant transfer from this computer so I made the made this youtube video to get better quality pics. Rock on The next trip the camera will be on my side.

Yeah, Thanks James. The buttons were so cool to me. I just cleaned them a bit more and here is the shots of the buttons with a lite cleaning. I think they rock myself,,,,lol. . The have some writing on the inside. The shank looks like it is one cast peice. They are single peice design and flat. They both have IND on them so I really dont know exactly what period or what they may be.
