Still a good one or two out there
« on: June 22, 2013, 10:53:24 PM »
Since it's an Artillery button, Carl gave the OK to post :)

Found this the last time I got to swing a coil - Lined Old English "A"; Halfman & Taylor / Montgomery backmark

To me, this button exemplifies why relic hunting is so much fun - I dug enough aluminum and junk to empty my pouch a couple of times before the button turned up - you never know what the next signal will be

Very good!  Now that I know Artillery buttons are OK, here is the display I'm entering in the County Fair next month.

Gorgeous, even more so now than that blurry photo you sent when your hands were still jiggling.  Congrats!

Mike, you are right about the shaking hands!

Mr. Vann, a very impressive artillery button display.  If I was handing out the blue ribbons, you'd have one for sure.  Thanks for posting

Great find misipirelichtr. I can see why the hands were shaking. Was recently looking to get one of that general style recently and got scared off by the prices.

Great looking display Joe. You have my vote for best of show. Make sure you take your cowboy hat and fiddle with you to the fair and serenade the judges.
