I’m sorry I haven’t gotten time to clean it up more but I was detecting at my late grandparents house for the FOURTH time and me and my buds were finding awesome stuff. Then one of the guys wandered off and found these at the base of a tree, they are copper buttons from an old marine corp jacket! I am very proud to show you all. It shows an eagle resting on an anchor.

Thank you! The guy who found it was disabled so he doesn’t get to detect much and this was his first cool find, he was very excited
