Today hit a couple new places. One is a old stagecoach inn from 1724 (the sign says that) there I found this button and a rifle shell. The pics are here of the two, I found some other stufff also I will post pics of them too. Here is the first pic the button. I was flipping out when I found it. Totally awesome. I still have to clean it but here it is anyway.
