Civi War era buckle and button exposed on the surface of a freshly dug pile of dirt at a construction site in Oxon Hill, Maryland and found by me in the mid 1970s. At the time I was not looking for artifacts, but instead was looking for any interesting geology that might have been exposed in the excavations. During the Civil War the nation's capital was surrounded by various army camps and forts and this location must have been one of them. I have often wondered what else I might have found if I had had a metal detector with me at the time.

These are just some of my many handmade button brooches. If you would like to see more, please go to my Etsy or Facebook site or contact me at:

Heute hat Johanna das Kleid, was meine Frau für sie hat schneidern lassen, geschenkt bekommen. Sie sah, wie ich schon vermutet hatte, alles andere als begeistert aus - besonders schluckte sie, als ihr Blick auf den Kragen fiel: sehr hoch, den kompletten Hals eng umschließend, äußerst steif und mit einer Besonderheit, die sich meine Frau, sehr zur Freude meiner Schwägerin, hat einfallen und von der Schneiderin umsetzen lassen: Damit Johanna auch gezwungen ist, diesen extrem unbequemen Kragen immer streng hochgeschlossen zu tragen, befindet sich am Kragensteg auf der Seite mit dem Knopfloch ein fest angenähtes Stoffband, das hinten unter dem Kragen herläuft und dort an mehreren Stellen mit verdeckten, zusätzlichen Knöpfen gehalten wird. Bei einem geöffneten Kragen würde das Stoffband lang heraushängen, was natürlich unmöglich aussehen würde. Sie war auch ziemlich verzweifelt, als sie im Kleid steckte und ihr klar wurde, als meine Frau ihr den komplizierten Verschluss komplett zugeknöpft hatte, sie keine Chance hat, auch nur ansatzweise ihren Kragen zu öffnen. Hannah stöhnte hörbar, dass sie ihren Kopf, wegen der Höhe, Enge und Steifheit des Kragens, kaum noch bewegen kann. Aber es nutzt ihr nichts : Meine Schwägerin war derart begeistert, dass Johanna dieses Kleid nun sehr oft wird anziehen müssen.
This one's not so big and it's only for one "cage" worth of servers, which is still a lot of machines.
Robert Scoble wrote about the "big red button right by the door in every data center" he's ever been to. If somebody pushes this little red button, several dozen machines are immediately taken offline.

17. Glue the piece of cardstock from earlier to the back of the top piece covering the wire-notice that I also covered the back of the focal button with the cardstock as well. I run my fingernail along the cardstock on each side of the wire, this just helps it to stick better.
18. This picture isn't too good, but you will notice a gap at the top of the head where the wire twist is-I just fill this in with a bit of white glue.
Button Gwinnett (1735 – May 19 or 27, 1777) was an British-born American political leader who, as a representative of Georgia to the Continental Congress, was the second of the signatories (first signature on the left) on the United States Declaration of Independence. He was also, briefly, the provisional president of Georgia in 1777, and Gwinnett County (now a major suburb of metropolitan Atlanta) was named for him. Gwinnett was killed in a duel by a rival, Lachlan McIntosh, following a dispute after a failed invasion of East Florida.
Gwinnett was born in 1735 in the parish of Down Hatherley in the county of Gloucestershire, Great Britain, to Welsh parents, the Reverend Samuel and Anne (née Button) Gwinnett. He was the first of his parents' seven children. There are conflicting reports as to his birth date, but he was baptized in St Catherine’s Church in Gloucester on April 10, 1735. After attending The King's School, Gloucester he started his career as a merchant in England. He then moved to Wolverhampton in 1755 and married a local, Ann Bourne, in 1757 at St. Peter's Church at the age of 22. In 1762 the couple left Wolverhampton and moved to America.
Arriving first in Charleston, South Carolina, by 1765 they had traveled to Georgia. Gwinnett abandoned his mercantile pursuits, selling off all his merchandise to buy a tract of land where he started a plantation. He prospered as a planter, and by 1769 had gained such local prominence that he was elected to the Provincial Assembly. During his tenure in the Assembly, Gwinnett's chief political rival was Lachlan McIntosh, and Lyman Hall was his closest ally. Gwinnett did not become a strong advocate of colonial rights until 1775, when St. John's Parish, which encompassed his lands, threatened to secede from Georgia due to the colony's rather conservative response to the events of the times.
