1848 Large Cent, need flat button ID please.

[Anonymous]

Well this could have been my last hunt for the year. The ground is starting to freeze pretty solid since Sunday night. I found these with my Explorer XS in an old farm yard Saturday morning that a friend was generous enough to invite me along with to detect. The large cent was my oldest coin for the year and was about 7-8 inches deep. It read like a quarter or half, so I wasn't expecting it at all. A nice surprise and a good way to end the year if I can't bust through the frozen ground anymore. These flat buttons are my first and any info on their age would be greatly appreciated. The backmark on the one with no gilt is Imperial/London.The nice gilted one has the backmark of PLUMR FREELAND & Co.N.YORK.The one Indian with the bare copper spot near the date is a 1867 which is a better date than a common.

That's the last time I bring you to one of my sites! <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol"> <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol"> It was a good morning, a little on the cold side though. I'm glad you were able to find the large cent. Nice buttons too! That's a huge area to detect and we barely covered any of it. Too bad it looks like I won't be able to get us back on the site. We'll have to wait until Spring. Maybe the landowner will change his mind by then and let us back on.
Talk to you soon! HH
