I found this Railroad conductor button which after I did some research on it I discovered it is dated from around 1850-1865. We have 2 home sites on our land dating back to the 1800's which is where I have been detecting. I just started metal detecting last Saturday and I am already hooked.

I looked it up on the internet and according to my findings there it is really that old. I did clean it up a little because when I found it you could not see anything on it as far as the lettering.

That's a really nice find and i great shape too for it's age. I'll bet there is a lot more there and you've only scratched the surface. Keep at it and good luck.

Thank you I am really loving this new hobby. I have found several items mostly old farm implement stuff and old bottles while digging for the metal that the detector is indicating.

That's a great button. Is it a Waterbury button? Never saw one like that before. Congrats on a great find right from the start!

![]() I have not experienced a single button of the slightest interest in almost a year in the hobby although the common zipper and jean snaps are littering the nation and continue to tease even the most experienced scanner operator. __________________ |

Cool button find and welcome to the forum, kylawrence! I wonder if you can figure out what Railroad or Trolley it belonged to? Were there any local to your area?
