I was out to my fave park which the farmer had just disced. The dirt was like a fine brown talc which was real easy digging. The NA piece was laying on top and I thought it was a spoon handle tip until I got home and saw the flaking. Thanks to uniface, Buckleberry, and Tdog for the ID. The cuff link was ONTWBTTC, I couldn't believe it was laying on top undamaged after dodging the farm equipment for a couple hundred years. Also a fired round ball and an insulator(on top o' the ground). Back again all week. Thanks for looking.

PS Any idea on cuff link age?

Nice finds! Congrats!!
 

sure that is not a gun flint?
 

Well, now that you mention it I suppose it's possible.

Just seems like the right size, and those cufflinks look pretty old so I was thinking they might be from the same era. Total shot in the dark tho
 

Makes sense and probably more likely, with all due respect to uniface, Buckleberry, and Tdog, thank you.
