Nice buttons you are recovering.

Looking forward to reading about how well the carbon fiber handle holds up over several months of use.
Cheers,

So some British. Tar, (sailor) parts with his buttons, under what circumstances? Move up the calendar, here comes the GravediggerMax strolling along on the hunt. Brings up that button to the light of day, after laying there how long ? Where lies the person who made it, the sailor who last buttoned it ? Congratulations Max on another piece of history.

there have been several nice buttons found along this one stretch of replenished beach, some really nice ones and several old steamship ones, denny found a nice one last week from steamship company from spain.............1900 to 1939.............most have flag with something on the flag.........some will say..............Leland steamship line.

we figured the channel dredge must have hit and sucked up parts of an old wreck or wrecks from the beach replenishment that took place back in 2012/13. they sucked the sand from way off in the channel and pumped it to like 60 blocks along the ocean front, but the buttons for the most part only come from like a 8 to 10 block zone.

several big battles took place right on the cape during 1700's between brits and french and many many merchant ships were sunk by the uboats right off the coast.....who knows.

good luck to you.

Weeks Marine did the job, they are the same ones that did the replenishment a few years ago in NJ at Corson's inlet - Strathmere Beach - and they hit old wreck with many old silver and gold coins from around 1781 or so and pumped them right up on the beach - some of those guys had fantastic spins.

now like u said, they have a catcher for coins on the beach end of the sand that is being pumped on. we guess that the buttons were tooooo small and just slipped thru............just a guess of coarse.

helps to be in the right place at the right time i guess.

Just gotta figure out where they dumped the contents of the catcher provided they didnt sift through it themselves...man can you imagine the possible finds?

Very interesting finds indeed!!!!
