Flat buttons and silver, first half of 2016.

[Scrappy]

Went to an old site where a home once stood. I could never prove a thing besides with square nails. Until...

Found a few flat buttons, probably all dating around 1800-1840's. All were 3" deep. So I dig these buttons and soon after get a slamming hit at 3" about 10 or so feet away. Thinking its clad I plow my shovel right in - and missed. It's my first Walker of 2016

If it were the same age of the buttons right by there it would have been glorious! But that's what keeps us hunting ain't it?

Two exams down today, three more to go. I'm almost a free man again to hunt as I please! Lol

It is cut, and I'm pretty certain of that. I've found one other before but don't know the purpose of them being cut.

That's a roller skate with wings I dug.
Thanks for looking

are you sure is cut,? found piece's of them like that before, always just figured that's the way some cookies crumble somtimes. Some do remind me of cut Spanish.
