Default Cool buttons
I went back to the lost settlement yesterday desperate for some silver. It still hasn't revealed itself yet, but I got a couple really neat buttons. A flat cuff with a weird design I've never seen, and my best looking tombac so far. It still amazes me that something (tombac) made before 1800 can still look almost new. HH!

Very nice buttons... after my neat button find on Turkey Day, I have a newfound respect for them.
