Wow what a great relic! Great save!

1,000+ silver coins
92pcs of 1700's Trade Era Silver
Copper Culture Indian Artifacts
125+ War of 1812 Era buttons and relics
My wife (probably should have started with that one)
That was a sweet find. Can't believe the finds from this site and where it was. Yes, that button was a tombac. Slighlty larger than a cuff button.
U didn't mention your pewter spoon bowl. Kinda let readers know age of the site. And it existed until the 30's... wth.
Future goals: Capped bust coin, Flowing hair LC, Classic head LC, VT copper, MA copper, Pistareen, Two-cent pc, SLQ, GW inaugural button, Excelsior button, Civil war token, and a gold ring.

Great looking knee buckle Kevin , solid silver ones are very hard to find ! I don't suppose there is any maker's mark stamping on the underneath or side ?
