the thaw continues. found this button yesterday at the same site as the coppers i've been posting lately. i've just been wading into the iron with my se and going real slow. this is the seventh of these buttons i've pulled out of this site, all with the same design, and in two sizes, this one having a diameter of 19mm. they were manufactured by giles/richards in cincinnati, oh. i'm not near any 1812 battle sites, so i figure someone brought their shirt home after the war, and then threw it away when it wore out.
found the silver religious pin this afternoon in a different area that has produced colonial era stuff in the past, but has seen modern use as well, so i'm not sure about the age of it. there's no writing on it. looks to be at least early 20th century, though. HH, dwayne
