It was a button kind of day

[Jyverb64]

My first hunt of the year, I got permission for a new field and today was the day. As soon as I showed the farmer the map he said ya that makes sense, he always wondered what the well in the field was for. There was a house on the map in 1853, 1859 and gone in 1874. I didn't have to go far too find brick and pottery fragments and soon after I had my first button. I found several more buttons and a buckle to make a great start of the new year.

does the field get plowed, or just for hay? If it gets plowed, you will get more each year

I like to look for pottery fragments, etc, after corn fields get cut and were rained on all season

what type of buckle? farm or for people?

Cool finds. Very interesting buckle thingy.

That's a great hunt, research was spot on too. With all those early-mid 1800s buttons a nice coin should be hiding nearby.
