    3 Large Cents in 3 Days

    The past 2 hunts have been wicked good! Yesterday i ended up pulling out an 1835 LC and today I pulled out an 1833 one!

    1835


    1833

    A few buttons (four hole sewing, a fancy cuff and a tombac)



    A nice horseshoe that somehow rang up high and a wicked big serving spoon. They were about a foot from each other!! Also my first table knife and harmonica reed


    Here are the things I need some help identifying!!

    Thought it was a button but has a paper like material in the back


    No idea what it could be. Decorative


    Thanks for looking!! Can't wait to get back out tomorrow

    great coins and relics Owen your looking like a professional relic hunter now the '35 matron is a nice looking coin with some great detail !! the item might be a button and the "paper-like" stuff in the back could be either wood or bone thats badly decomposed , some mid to late 1700's era button had brass shells with either bone or wooden backs . the other large decorated piece might be a rosette , is it lead filled on the back ??
