Buttons

The land played hard to get yesterday. Most of the time we had an inch or two of top soil followed by gritty, pebbly and rooty black sand. I found quite a few buttons though and one of them is quite interesting. I will look it up in my book! Also a lead seal, not sure what it says, possibly Sutton & Sons?

    Perhaps the lead seal is related to Suttons Seeds Ltd, founded in Reading as Suttons & Son by John Sutton (1777-1863) in 1806?

    Keep on digging!
