Two holed clamshell button?
Let me wander. Even if it isn't! You found a button. Got me thinking clams and history....
An old timer , now long gone ended up in a room above a bar. Seems it was four bucks a night back then.
Waitresses used to sneak him a hot dog now and then. Or more often.
Wearing a sweater in summer , he'd visit with patrons.
Told me of his youth about a half hour South working a river there with his Dad collecting clamshells to sell for button material...
Cincinnati had a button factory.
Of course , buttons from clams came from many sources/states.
In the 1860's the rush was on in Ohio to search for freshwater pearls from clams. (It had started in New Jersey with a large pearl found.)
Like many areas...The poor clams suffered dearly. A lot of them had to be killed and gone through to find a pearl. Let alone a good one.
Today many states don't allow harvest.
And in my state not that long ago some folks got busted for harvesting clamshells.
They were taking the hinge areas thick parts (what wampum used to be made from) , grinding it to shape and putting them in oysters to get cultured pearls...
Pearls being layers of deposits the shellfish build around a trapped irritant.
What inspired Ohio as a search place?
[At archaeological sites throughout the eastern United States, huge caches of pearls have been unearthed, over sixty thousand of them were excavated from a mound in Ohio’s Little Miami Valley. It’s little wonder given the native inhabitants close and prolonged association with the great mussel beds lining our rivers, that pearls would play an important role in their lives as well.]
"Pearl" buttons could be from clams.
Some old timers would run one (note two holed vs four) on their ice fishing line for an attractor.
The pic. is not from our area.
But there are accounts of natives using shell to make decoys for spearing through the ice in winter. (?)

Morning Jim, thanks very much. 
I think I'm bang on with the location of the first site, not so much on the second site that I sent you pics of last night.
Do you have anything special planned for this weekend?

Morning
Good morning ARC.
I assume you know all about this site.
Florida’s Suncoast, “Bahia Del Espiritu Santo” - The “Bay of the Holy Spirit”
"The name given to Tampa Bay by Spanish conquistador Hernando deSoto upon his arrival in 1539. Eleven years earlier Panfilo Narvaez and his army of approximately 400 persons landed upon the shores of neighboring Pinellas County beginning what is said to be the first overland expedition by Europeans in the United States. Their numbers reduced from frequent attacks by the state's native inhabitants, only 4 members of the Narvaez entrada survived an eight-year journey circumnavigating the gulf coast on foot and upon crudely constructed rafts in a desperate bid to reach a Spanish outpost in "New Spain" (Mexico). The fascinating tale of the hardships they endured is recounted by survivor Cabeza De Vaca in his widely available book... "Cabeza de Vaca's Adventures in the Unknown Interior of America". A deSoto encampment site was recently discovered near Orange Lake in northern Marion County. This is only the second definitive "deSoto was here" site known in Florida."
