Excellent Button today

Hi all,
I hit a cellar hole today that I hunted years ago and as you guys know [You never get it all] anyway I found this old steamship company button in excellent shape. Those of you that know me know I'll take a nice button over a crusty old LC or KG any day.
Here's the info from the web

New York & Liverpool United States' Mail Steamship Company / Collins Line

The New York & Liverpool United States' Mail Steamship Company, commonly known as the Collins Line, was founded in New York c1848. They made the first voyages, New York to Liverpool, in 1850 in 9 days 13 hours and 30 minutes. The company never fully recovered from the losses of the ARCTIC in 1854 and PACIFIC in 1856. Disruptions to services due to breakdowns and protracted repairs, late delivery of the new ship ADRIATIC, etc caused the failure of the line and operations were suspended in Feb.1858. Their remaining ships were sold to the principal creditors at a sheriff's sale.

Thanks for looking
Todd
 
Fantastic find. I would put that in a special frame with it's History. Making discoveries like this
is what metal detecting is all about. Congratulations.

That is an excellent button and in such good shape, congratulations on a great find. -- Randy
 
Very nice Todd ! :thumbup:
 
I think its in such great shape because of where it was. The cellar hole is in a Hemlock stand and the ground is like peat moss very soft almost bouncy when you walk. It has to have something to do with it.
 
Nice button Todd......I agree, I love me some detailed buttons. Its also so amazing how intricately detailed the buttons of yesterday can be. And man there is just all sorts of variety just waiting for a coil to pass over them. HH Joe

Look forward to hunting again with you soon.
