I was reviewing some other recent items I found and never posted. I have two coins that I believe to been made into buttons. One with holes I knew was a weird button when I dug it, because it was so thin. Much thinner than any button I have seen. Started cleaning and my hunch was right, it was Silver. Really worn, looks to be possibly a one reale. The other 1781 half reale is in great condition except the kings head is missing. Bummer. I believe there was a shank attached as a home made fancy button but it fell apart. This buckle is the biggest I have ever dug. It was not down deep. It's another buckle I found in a peat bog next to a pond just a couple of inches under leaves. Crazy, could pull it out with just my hands. Has a gold leafed band that was glued around the top and is still shiny. This must have been one big shoe or boot. I found the loose buckle part that matches this buckle next to a early home site. Not that far away. Part probably came from the buckle that made it home. The award or medal is from a later homesite. Looks like it can be modified to 1st, 2nd place or what ever with a snap in number. Little pewter button with a cross was certainly buried. Interesting simple design.
