Saturday was drippy early, so did some chores and hit the button field permission I got in late December now that it's dried up a bunch. Zip, zilch, nada in 2 hours or so. Couple random scraps of tin.
Sunday I hit the farm field again, and worked the area that produced last week. Dug the usual crunk, but got more goodies, including a couple items off the list. My 1'st ox knob (thought I was digging my 1'st copper), and my 1'st silver quarter. A 61, nothing fantastic. The button is plain, with a back mark. Scovills/extra rich. 1827-1840.
The lock and latch plate is cool, no idea what it would have been on. The domed item with two ribs looks like maybe the top half of a socket off a ball joint maybe? Or space junk.
And the last two pics are what I think might be a small cast pewter cuff button maybe? The back, and a profile. The top is just plain.
