Has anyone seen buttons like these? circa?
First one with a flower is a heavy button little smaller than a quarter and no writing on back due to it being lead/pewter.
I found it deep in woods around some old stone walls, outside Philadelphia.

Second one I found couple miles away from the first, around one of my old fishing holes.
thx

Your first button appears to be pewter and is probably 200 years old give or take. The second is from approx. 1902 to 1930. I found this information by Googling the Arts Metal Works, Newark N. J. Great Seal button. This brought me back to Treasurenet and some information on Great Seal Button backmarks.
