Since the ground is concrete here, as I'm sure for many of you, thought I'd get caught up on my recent finds, whatsit's, etc.
Dug these items in a field in southeastern kansas. Other items found have ranged in age from the 1840's to the early 1900's. The large lead appears to be a three ringer, that tangled with a plow.
Button is a one piece and slightly larger than 9/16" (sorry, no MM. Misplaced my metric measurer). I can make out just a few of the benchmark letters. Afraid to clean on it anymore. Feel like I've already lost some of them. All the letters I can see are capitols.
There's a CO then what appears to be the right leg of an A then a couple more vertical straight line letters. At the far edge, there is a TH with something possibly before them, and then a couple more vertical straight line letters, then possibly a couple curved line letters. Sorry, this is the best I can do.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
Regards,
Jules
