Cellar hole finds. Anyone lose a button?

[Elad]

Hello everyone. Sorry if you've seen this stuff before up in the coinshooters section. I didn't realize all the cellar dwellars posted down here. Well, now I do!

All this stuff is from one tiny cellar hole site. Plenty more there too - just have to weed out the iron. Took me many trips to accumulate this much. Enjoy.

HH all and GL with all your hunts.

Nice digs! With that many buttons there is bound to be a thimble or two waiting for you.

Great haul :omg: You best check them for military and such

Thanks all. I have found 3 thimbles at the site, but they are kinda messed up looking and don't fit in the display nicely. I suppose I could cut deeper into the cotton to display one or 2, but I am just so tired from all this detecting!

Believe me, I checked every button again and again...not one military one!

The F.D button was actually found on an old trail between my 2 cellar holes... but it was closer to this one so it made the cut into the group.

:cool:

I've read about ragmen who recycled cloth from garments after stripping the buttons. Were all those buttons near each other?

Yes, near each other in a small 1/2 acre plot surrounded by rock walls. On at least 3 occasions there I found multiple buttons in one hole, which I assumed were simply lost garments.
