 Clapp So, I had the wonderful opportunity to go out with my father to a spot we refer to as "button field", got some great excercise and saw tons of wildlife as well. Here is a photo of all the buttons we found in this location. The 1st. time my 11 year old went out and found over 1000 the first time around and then the second time I went out with him and both my girls and we found 760. I cleaned them up a little and perfectly filled an old atlas jar! ps, 3 good year 1 gold plated.

Whoa! Are these found in a farmer's plowed field somewhere? Looks like it may have been the site of an old button factory.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

That's cool! Why do you think there are so many buttons in one area? Maybe like GD said. A button factory...

  Back in 1918 the Spanish Flu killed some 20 Million folks around the world.

Just a mile from my house, there was a Camp Cody.  Named after good ol Buffalo Bill.

No Exception they took a big hit with the stuff.

Afraid to touch any thing with sticks and pitch forks they took tents, Uniforms pockets full and all bedding to burn pits.

Could have been something like that?

What years are they from?

I don't know but it seems as though there was a rainfall of buttons over that area.  Shocked

I believe the site was an old button factory during the 1800's I did some research and an exact location geographicly fits the description, the factory went through  a few different phases there said to be a man who used the pond and river for hydro power to run a cider vinegar mill, light bulb and button factory. What happened to the owner is unknown but in the 1930's the state went in there and demolished the old buildings and had debree removed. My father still thinks if there were buildings there, there would be foundation stones or something else that is a clue to what was here beside farm field? If your lucky enough you might find peices of pottery, arrows if your really lucky and tons of fire stone or boiling stones!

Its also not out of the question that there was sickness spreading and these were possibly burned as a pracautionary measure there are older farm dumps near by.
