Why, I do!
Third flat button in the last two months out of a relatively small entrance area in my neighborhood park.
This park that was dedicated in the mid 20's keeps surprising me.
I knew people hung out or passed through before that but for years I had no idea how far back people were tromping around here.
This is the third flat button I found in the last few weeks, all around the same general area.
The first two had backmarks I could easily read, the first dates back to the 1820's to 1840's, the other one is at least as old if not older and just maybe this one might be the oldest one so far because it is so far gone.
On this one the back is pretty wasted and I can't read a thing although there might be a wreath circling the back but hard to tell and no words can be seen.
This could go back to the 1700's for all I know, no matter because it is really old for sure and I am happy.
I hope to come across a coin sometime dropped by the same people that are losing these things, hunters, trappers or whoever they were.
I never thought I would ever come across any really old coins around here like some of you other guys find because this city only started building up in the 1880's but now I have a little more hope.
Always a remote chance...maybe one day.
