The mansion doesnt give up much but button guys might enjoy these.

I was in dire need of a walk in the past today. Been sitting out a couple of rainy days.
So, I decided on a walk around the mansion. This place is simply phenomenal!
Just being there recharges my personal batteries. I love this place!

Anyway, a slow 3.5 hour walk did uncover a couple of interesting things. But, really, that's not
why I go there these days.



Only my second thimble, ever!

The fronts:

The backs:


Anyone with decent eyes who can see anything recognizable, I'd appreciate any info.


Ya know, I can't recall ever finding a buckle with leather still attached! LOL


Cute lil bullet still buried in wood.



The penny is a '61 zincoln. Finding ANY coins there is rare anymore.

Poor Blingie! He hates my 30 day pass! LOL

Thanks for peeking!

My top 4 list includes an old flat button with shank attached and slightly off center ( I believe I showed it to you when you were here last ). I am sure many would say I am easily thrilled but when I hold that button, I can lose myself in thought imagining the lives it touched and wish I could experience it firsthand. I have never found more than one flat button at a site ( in a single hunt ), so I believe that is just about my favorite mansion post in my memory!

Nice buttons, I yet to find a flat button.

Nice to see that you got back out to the mansion. Sometimes you just need to change it up once in awhile. Looks like you pulled a few old ones. Buttons aren't my forte, sorry I can't do more than admire them.

Yep, you did show that to me. It truly is a fascinating button. Although I am a coinshooter at heart, I do have a soft spot for any old buttons that have some info on them. Plain ones, a lil tougher to like. I think I can see some designs on these, but my eyes aren't that good.

Yeah, the mansion was very kind to me this trip. I REALLY needed that one!

Thanks!

Buttons are always a great find! I love the wreath design around the raised edge flat button. Great digs!

Nice little hunt. As much as I enjoy finding coins, I really love the stuff with history, the more pesonal the better. I think most of us have a special spot that we can get away to and it's not whether we find anything or not that matters.

 

[WHADIFIND]

Welp, I tried. Afraid I just couldn't improve any of the buttons. Only one shows any detail.


I dunno if those are supposed to be stars, they look like plus signs.


The front is pretty clean, just plain.


This bullet embedded in wood is fast becoming a favorite.

Thanks for the replies!
