Yesterday's Hunt

[The Rebel]

Took yesterday off to go back upstate to hit a few sites I've been working on. Used my 6x10 DD to see what I might have missed with my 10" coil.

I was rewarded with some buttons one with the cloth still on it. I'm always amazed when this happens that the cloth has survived so long in the ground.

Dug an interesting button with the back mark W. CT * Gilt. Anyone have any info on this back mark?

Also dug this interesting non-button looking item, no idea what it is, any ideas? My heart skipped a beat as at 1st all I saw was a large round silver looking item.

A spoon bowl also turned up. I will have to hit this place next spring as the ferns & weeds made it difficult to swing.

Is the large, round item attracted to a magnet? It looks a little like pewter. Congrats on the hunt.👍🏼

That disk is a head scratcher for sure.

Thanks guys! The non button item turned out to be what's called a rim button. Found a similar one on the Waterbury button company website.
