My 1st Military Button
I found this at a house I had permission to detect. The house was built in 1780. I was surprised to not find any really old silver but the amount of shallow targets was pretty ridiculous. I think I'm literally going to have to grid the place and clear all the shallow stuff before I can get to the goods. I think the button is from WWI but I'm not positive. HH

Yep, that is a collar disk for an infantry soldier probably WWII. The later enlisted disks were two piece with the rifles on top of the disk. That is a great find.

Congrats on a very cool button. It's definatly WW1. I found a very similiar style one for Artillery but with 2 cannons crossed.
I love finding military stuff. We should get out sometime because I know of a few sights around Boston that give me military relics. __________________

This is in fact a WW1 infantry collar disk for an enlisted man. Does it still have the screw post intact or is it smashed? Is the nut on it by chance?
