Thought I'd get in an early morning hunt before church since it was so calm and cool (41 deg.). Flew out to an old homestead about 20 miles from the nearest house . Thought I was all alone til three riders showed up. Turned out to be my neighbors, they had left a gate open and their cattle had gotten out. After taking one of them up to find the cows, I resumed my hunt. Found the neat button on the way back to the plane when I was done. Gave me quite a start because it was as perfect a silver dollar signal as I had with my dollar find. Same design jwp1964 just posted today. Has R Liebmann Mfg Co Newark NJ on the back. Not sure what the band is but it has a rope design.

Great Seal button. Probably WWI or II vintage.

41 degrees? That awesome!

I have found a band identical to that one. I found it on the military base where I do most of my hunting. I ended up throwing it in the steel bin because I thought it was just scrap...

Looks like the sort of things I find here. Frequently find an odd caliber case. Some of the really old ones are nearly eaten away.

Yea !!! We've had some unseasonably cool weather this year. unfortunately the crops show it from all the frost damage.

Nice variety! That's what I love about hunting old homesteads!
