You Can't Get Much More Gold Gilt On a Button, Other Buttons, 1895 V Nickel

Hi All,

It has been awhile since I had been out detecting, I was taking care of some personal issues. Anyways it was a button kind of day yesterday. First I dug the little cuff button, then came the 1895 V Nickel in decent shape. After digging some good old junk , I then dug back to back the Anchor Button and the Shield Button. I believe these are just 20th Century Blazer Buttons. After digging some more junk I got a decent signal and out popped the 1840-1850 Scovills&Co plain button with Amazing Gilt left. This is the second button of this kind I dug at this site. All I know is this button and the other one were made to last. Thanks for reading and looking :icon_thumleft:.

Thanks for the good words. JB that sure is a possibility, it is AMAZING how they been coming out of the ground with all their gilt :icon_thumleft:
 

Great looking score on the the buttons Bubba, You don't find em like that too often.
ZDD
 

Awesome! You mean they were made to get your money's worth out of! HH!
 

Bubba,
Great job on the "V" and all of those great buttons. That gold gilt one and the flower button are super finds. :thumbsup:

Very nice buttons! What gets me is you can dig one in nice condition here...and then a few yrds away dig one that is totally toasted.
 

The button is great, but so is the condition of the V nickel for coming out of the ground. With that amount of detail is must have been uncirculated or close to it when it was lost.
 

Thanks again for the comments. Yeah the "V" Nickel came out real decent, especially for a ground found nickel.
