button

Greetings - found this button in a lake bed in northern Colorado. I know it’s post civil war but would love to get the back mark date. It reads “Waterbury Button CO”. With I believe I single star. Can’t find a match online. Smaller size and flatter style. Found within 50 ft of a...

Any ideas? I found it on my private ground, in the Second World War it used to be a battleground in early 1945 between American and German troops (Just after the Battle of the Bulge). It was close to some American buttons and other US relics. My thought was that it has something to do with...

Did some research and found out a public river landing close by was a trade route during the Revolutionary War. It was only 20 minutes from my house so decided to take my Compadre and see if I could find anything. Aside from a few pennies and fishing weights, I found this bullet and what appears...

Greetings and thank you in advance. Usually google/forums are my friend with regard to ID but I can't find much of anything on this button. I didn't include its profile - but its flat (unlike some of the larger dome buttons from civil war era). The best guess I have is a Colorado Militia...

Popped this button today along with a couple flat buttons..I’ve definitely seen a button like this on an episode of the Hoover Boys but can’t find it for the life of me. I can’t remember what they said about it. It’s a small button with a massive shank on the back and I’m thinking it’s pretty...

Found this today, any help identifying would be appreciated.

I found this button where an early 1800's home supposedly stood. It was found in the treeline about 8 inches deep. Northeast Ohio. Any help identifying this would be appreciated! Thank you!

I'm hoping all the brains of this site can assist again. I've been hunting a permission for a few months now and continue to pull things from the late 18th century and early 19th century. So this thing should be old, but i don't want to say that for certain. It could be a large coat button, but...

Hi, I found this button on the surface of a dirt road in Atsion, NJ, which is an old town in the Pine Barrens. It is around 23mm wide. Can you please tell me what kind of button it is (and whether it might be old)? Thank you in advance :D

Trying to find out any extra information on this vice admiral Edward Vernon button that I found. I dug this in King George county Virginia. I have found that this button most likely comes from the 1740s to 1750s and I haven't been able to find another button depicting the same image. and I've...

Hi all! I wanted to see if anyone had any info about a few things I found a few weeks ago. The first is my the only flat button I've found and I can't quite find any others like it on the internet. It is a little bigger than a US quarter and I understand it could be a homemade button as it...

It says "SCOFILL MF'G CO WATERBURY" It has a circle of dots in the middle inside of the printing. There are no other marks such as stars. It is maybe 1 or 2 mm bigger than a US nickel.

Here is a picture of a find from around 6 inches down in the soil of upstate NY. I have no idea if its costume jewelry. I had to scrub the dirt off of the gold-colored area with water but the silver-colored section cleaned up very easily and does not appear to be tarnished much. It weighs 8...

I am sure I will have a few more items as I got some more rusty iron that need electrolysis. The land has hunting and farming back to the 1700s. I just pulled this button yesterday. It is thin and the crust flaked off. I thought it was more crust but it looks like there is a lip on the sides...

Hi. A few years ago, I found this object behind a shed in my backyard, in Hamilton, NJ. I have rediscovered it in the shed that it was found near, and decided to post it. I think when I found it, it gave a non-ferrous signal. I hope you can ID this. Thanks:grin:

Hey guys, my friend dug these Union Army buttons that I'm having trouble pinning down. They were found near a 5ft-6ft deep old well, with numerous horseshoes and nails scattered about, on a bluff overlooking the "Y" -shaped valley formed by the confluence of two creeks in northern Kentucky...

Ok, so I've been digging quite a few Confederate relics as of late so in my latest video I decided to give a little insight regarding the location where I'm making my finds. Cassville Georgia is a small town in my home county. During the Civil War it was not only the County Seat but it was one...

I'm pretty sure the bottom word is Kentucky...but I am not sure the top word is "Old". I looked up "old kentucky button" in Google with no luck. This was found at an old home site in west TN. Anybody ever seen one like this? thanks

Found this yesterday. Front is an eagle on an anchor (so I am assuming some type of Navy button. On the back the only thing I can read is PHILA & NY.? anyone know anything about it??, Thanks

I found this button at a local school yard near Rockville, MD. I thought it was a modern button. After cleaning it up, I think it might be older than I had originally thought. Any help with identifying it would be appreciated.
