Today's Farm finds. A few coppers and more... UPDATED TOKEN PHOTO

We went to the farm where I found the 1684 cut silver and George found the 1746 2 reale. George had to work to get some overtime in but myself Donny and Sam hit it. We spread out to find another hotspot and found it in about an hour. I found a 1838 large cent, a no date large cent and a copper that appears to have a harp on it. Not sure. Beat up pretty bad. Also got a nice 1905 indianhead, 1910 and 1918 wheaties. The coin/token next to the indianhead is hard to make out, but I think it's some kind of token. The 3 ringer is a monster. Appears to be slightly bigger than the ones I see posted. I must say I truly enjoyed my vacation of hunting this past week, but unfortunately I have to go back to the real world tomorrow. There's always next weekend. The first three pics are mine and the last three are Donny's.

Hi Crusader. It appears to be a button with the shank missing. I also see artist's paintbrushes on it. Any ideas?
Thanks, Mike

The copper with the harp on it sounds like it might be a George the 111 Irish penny 1760-18-20 :P

Come to think of it. I've never seen a date on a button back either. Here's alittle closer look.

Really great post. It seems almost everyone is turning to those famer's fields these days.

A little research pays off.

Congrats.

Nice finds...how thin is the button with the date on it. I've seen buttons made out coins. Congrats
