Found only one thing worth mentioning today

[Mud Hut]

Spent part of the day trying to locate an old house in the long lost ghost town of Yeoho.
I only found one thing, but it is kinda neat.
Ran it thru one zip in the ultrasonic, and think I will leave it as is.
Not sure if it is gold, or gold gilt, but it shines of gold in hand. Rang up at 52 on the Racer.

Gilt flat button from A. Benedict of Waterbury, CT dates from 1823-1829. Like this one: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/26474-benedict-waterbury-button.html. It's not gold, but a high quality button from one of the better manufacturers of Early American flat buttons. Nice dig!

Thanks very much. That timeline would be correct or the area.

That's a sweet button. Looks as if I can barely make out an "eagle" on the front? My eyes ain't too good so it may be a hippopotamus as well.

Thanks Kurios1 . I thought I could see the ghost of one, too.
