Hello fellow diggers. I dug the 2 eagles last week, and the flat button 2 days ago. I have a little info on the infantry button: Size - 7/8", type on back reads - Mintzer Phild. From what I've researched so far, it was made 1850's to 1870. The small eagle button: Size - 3/4", type on back reads - Extra Quality. I don't have any other info on this button. Any help here would be appreciated, catalog numbers also would be greatly appreciated as I have no button books.
The Wellington & Waterloo button I have no clue as to age, manufacturer info. etc. Found at the same site as the 2 eagles. Old mill from mid 1800's. Dug about 6" down. Diameter - 3/4". On the back it reads Wellington & Waterloo with a monogram/logo - looks like 2 W's, then there is more type above the word Wellington that I can't read. Lots of gilt left on the back, not type or design on the front. Any info at all on this button would be appreciated.
Thanks for looking, and keep diggin'
