Silver Dime and a Button

[Mike (Virginia Beach)]

Not much to report today...only hunt day this weekend, since I had to pull a 13 hour day at work yesterday. Such is the nature of IT...server upgrades have to be done outside working hours.

So we hit this old farmhouse today...mostly in the yard, since the fields were nearly 100% clean. The yard was an iron infested nightmare but between the SE I was using and my hunt friend Ina using my CZ-70, we were able to each pull a few good targets. I got a '54 Rosie and a button. Pics:

Anybody ID this? A little bigger than a quarter...sounded SWEET!

Interesting button Mike,
did the numbers have you expecting something else?

It was a 00-29 and it was deep, so I was thinking (and hoping) that it was a Large Cent or a nice silver coin...something 1800's or better. But I'll take it. I like unique finds like that.

Gee, I dunno, but for a while there "4F" meant unfit for military service. I'm assuming that's not what this one signifies!

I said the same exact thing, but in that case they didn't give 'em guns I don't think!

Actually, got my answer on the Findmall Relic forum...it's WW1, 4th Regiment, F company.
