Back to the 1785 house and more finds.

[comfyinvermont]

Got to go back to the 1785 house where I found the Flintlock lock plate last night. Found what I thought was just an old button. It may be hard to see, but it has a log cabin on it and it is a Harrison & Morton, Campaign of 1888 button, Alberts PC353. Not in the best of shape, but a cool button anyway. Also found a piece of jewelry, a nice guilt button, a harness buckle and a perfect boot heel plate with a shamrock on it. I can't wait until Saturday when I get to spend the whole day there. Thanks for looking...Lance

Hey Jake, the guilt button is just a ladies button from about 1860 or so. I can not read the backmark to identify it any better than that but is from about that period...Lance
