Well I went to the shipwreck site today to see what I could break out of the mud / ice again today. It was slow at first then I started to pop out musket ball after musket ball. I did manage a few silvers today too.... A flat Washington Quarter & a flat Standing Liberty Quarter... I also got a few relics in between here and there.... A smooth silver Rosie in the mix also... If anyone can help ID the buttons that would be great... The smaller one seems to have an eagle with spread wings in the front... It is a small one , the size of a cuff button and made of lead or pewter.... Leaning more towards pewter..... The larger one is a coat button but very heavy, so I am leaning more towards lead on that one.... Thanks for looking... Happy Hunting and thanks for the help with these two...

Hey Leighton,

Thanks for another fascinating array of finds, sir. Kudos for, seemingly always, finding note worthy glass items. I always liked unusual little milk glass pieces. If you have a chance, I'd like to see more photos of that guy, please.

Do you have an all glass mode on your machine? 8-)
