The author, Gordon Bailey, is a detectorist and amateur historian with over 30 years experience, and has 7 previously published popular books to his credit in the Detector Finds series. Buttons are now part of our daily lives, but few people realise they have a history stretching back over 2,500 years with buttons being used in the late Bronze Age and the Celts using bronze cloak toggles even before the Roman Invasion of Britain in AD 43.
