, a splatted roundball at 21 grams, 2 lead bag seals 
, a brass cuff link & notched copper 1 3/8" 
, 12Ga. brass & round marked "H" 
, busted thimble
, 5 buttons, need help on the pattern 1683---, the domed button has nice floral front pattern, the 2 piece basket weave marked GILT, the 1 piece marked with wreath on back, all are amazing considering there was an iron hit at every 3 inches of all sizes. there was no swinging---just hovering over each hit to sort the s^!t from the loot
-------NOW FOR THE PAIN______this was an eyeball at the edge of the site--I look down & grab what looked like a large no loop dandy, thick nasty green crud slathered all over. got home, gave it a 5 minute electrolysis then a 2 second wipe with wet 800 grit---AIN'T NO STINKIN' BUTTON!!
