It was a button Day!

Went hunting in a field where an old house stood. No coins but three buttons. Three plain and two Cadet VMI's. One is fair and the other is not good.

Vary nice..

It is very hard to see the back mark, but looks like D Evans & Co AtyL and I think 6 more letters. And the back clip is broken off. I found the two of them very close together so am assuming they are the same. I cannot get a good photo of the back with my camera.
