Here is my story of an old button which I found.

It was in summer 2003 and my nan and granddad were having a new lawn put in. They said we could help them dig it up. It must have been July when I was outside on my own digging up the garden around the plant and it was a sunny day. The sun shone on my button and I looked down on it. I picked it up and wiped the dirt off, I didn’t no what it was. I thought it was an old coin at first but there was a ship on it. I took it in to my granddad and he said it was an old button from the war and that one of the sailors would have worn it when he was fighting in one or both of the world wars.
