Doc Bach Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Recently dug these buttons a few weeks ago and thought that I would post them on the 4th of July but Memorial Day works as well.The Deus 1 with the elliptical coil running at 74 KHz in a pitch program was able sniff them out of some serious square nail and other iron pollution and the ungodly amount of weeds.The small half dime sized button is listed in the Warren K.Tice book as a Union Patriotic Button and the larger one is a California state seal/militia type that I am guessing is post civil war era? Tinned Iron Back This One Was A Little Difficult To Get The Details On The Script On The Topside Says Eureka Now I Need To Clean Them Up There Is A Lot Of Gilt So Lemon Juice?

schoolofhardNox Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Nice buttons. They should clean up well. I use 50/50 water and CLR and a soft brush, and then baking soda/ water neutralizer. On the one with the iron back, I would just clean the face with that mix. That Waterbury Button factory must have made every button in the world 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
