It ain't much, but it's my first Merc!! (and some button help maybe??)

Well guys, as some of you know, I'm about a month and a half into this AWESOME hobby! Haven't found too much worth posting about other than clad and "cha-chee" items, BUT,...today I scored my FIRST Merc! A 1945!! Also managed to dig $1.06 in clad in about 2 hours.

Yesterday, I found my most interesting piece. It's a flat button and on the back, part of the text reads, "2ND QUALITY". There's more writing on the button, but I can't quite make it out. It appears to be in pretty decent shape, and the shank is complete/intact. I'm curious if any of you more experienced folks have any idea as to the history and/or rarity of this button. Any input is much appreciated. Thanks folks, and HH!!

The button I can make out is a mid-late 20th C blazer button.

Congrats dude! Were these from the same spot as the ring? I bet there is more there! The button appears to be a modern blazer button.

Sigh. :-( Thought I might've found an "old/rarer" button. Oh well. There's much more ground to cover out there! =-)


Neil,...no. These weren't from there. They were found in the old(er) section of Howell. But as for more being where we were,....ABSOLUTELY!! We barely scratched the surface over there!
