    Any added info on my finds will be greatly appreciated.

    Most of my finds are obvious by picture, but I was wanting to get more info like dates and what not. Also value if anyone knows.

    Button/pin dime sized.

    Heavy iron piece about the size of a coaster?

    Pocket knife with what looks like to me a naked woman on both sides


    Looks like a very small buckle about 3/4 long and 1/4 wide

    Silver dollar size found at old farm house in Ohio.
    Found this in the same hole as 1889 IH

    Any added info would be appreciated HH

    DetectorDunk,

    Welcome to the forums here... Can you post a picture of the back of your button... It will tell us as much about the button as the front....

    Respectfully,

    The button (upside down in the pic) appears to be a fouled anchor. Various forms of that design are on Navy Chief Petty Officer's uniforms. Admittedly, that one is rather simple in it's design, but that's probably what it is. Below is a more modern design.

    I've traveled a long way, and many of the roads weren't paved.

    As an old Army guy I've wondered about that anchor symbol before. Good to know.
