First good haul of the season. Crops are out of many fields and went out this weekend. These are the best finds and one incredible bonus - this beautiful arrowhead that popped out of the hole I dug for a target, which ended up being a trashy copper lid. haha

Any info on the date of the buttons? I am thinking both are early 1800s. I've never found a button that had a shank on it like the first one with the floral pattern (it's not totally flat either. Has a slight convexity to it). Reminds me of an older style. Also, check out the big brass ring! It's all bent but would've held a big gem at one time. Unfortunately, could not find the gem in the hole. haha
