I've been under the weather the last few days and could do nothing while the grass started growing in the hay fields :-\ Felt better today so I hit one of those fields for a few hours.
The ring is plated, I guess the button is a general cuff, and the crotal is a four holed number 3. I might go out again this afternoon!! :happydance01:
EDIT- I did go out again and dug a wiped KG (?) and another military cuff button, but this is one of those that have the O on the outside. I cant remember if it is NY state or what.

Glad you're feeling better and you beat the growth of the hay. Nice crotral bell but what is that heart shaped item?? :congrats: on being able to get out.

Thanks Al, I dug one of those heart things before. I guess it is the top of some type of locket :dontknow:

Glad you are feeling better, Drew! |:cheering:

It looks like you are definitely in the right area for old stuff! Very nice button and crotal bell.

I hope you find some more goodies this afternoon!

Al, that heart is a punched item. the back is a negative of the front.
Thank you Tony, we had glorious weather!

hey Drew , nice to see you again digging in the dirt my friend . some old items from that field. the button looks to be a U.S. Navy from about the 1820's or 30's . it should clean up pretty well too. :congrats:
