NJ National Guard Button

[kschae4]

Met up after work yesterday with Jabbo hoping to recover some Hibernian half-pennies (http://www.findmall.com/read.php?91,1884364) but it wasn't in the cards.
Finds were scarce, NJ National Guard Button, made by Waterbury Button Co,Waterbury,CON., 1914 (no D) toasted wheatie, musket ball, sheet music clip, and two buckles. Stats: relic mode, auto-sensitivity.

Ken, you know where I found the Hibernias and the 2 silvers. If you try it there who knows what you may find. Keepers are far apart tho. Dave

Mark, thanks. My initial research at the time, put it from about 1870-1910. Still not confirmed.

Thanks, Wolf. Will pull it from it's olive oil bath and post updated pics, if worthy.

Thanks Bunky. Kind of forgot about the button sitting for months in the olive bath, really helped.
In addition,using Goldstrike's picture re-sizing tips from May 27th,made enlarging pics a breeze.
