Colonial Jetton, Flying Eagle, 1800's Silver, Cast Button, Eagle "I" Button

Take your pick!!! I got something in almost every category today.
Hunting the 1760's house that Joe and I got all of our colonial large
coppers from. The ground was alive!
I know that this a Jetton (it says it), but other than that, I can't
identify it.

This Eagle "I" button has skinny wings with round feather(?).
The backmark is "Superior Quality".

1858 Flying Eagle (my first) and 1879 Indian.

My first cast button with a backmark "Rich Gold Colour".

1800's Canadian Dime with "Mon Etoilet" or "Mon Etoile" etched on reverse.

Great finds, I spent a couple of hours in my back yard today and I live in a 1797 house on 41 acres and all I found was 21 coins all modern. That's why I love this site, great finds like yours keep me going. Awesome :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

A jetton is a token. That's
just what they called them.
