Hey fellow Fisher users,
Found this great Post Office uniform button with the F-75 about 6 inches deep at an adobe site I discovered this summer. It rang up in the 65-70 range, I thought it was gonna be a wheatie until I flipped the dirt pile! This button design was first used by the Post Office in 1873 and was updated with a walking mail carrier design in 1893. There was still uniform thread attached to the shank when I dug it! Lost during cleaning unfortunately. My best find this year!
