Great day in the field, NJ state copper (close ups added)

Hi All,

Today I went to another new spot and did really well. Found 2 large cents (1 looks to be early) a couple of King George types, a really nice NJ state copper, an Indian head and some buttons. The two large buttons are pretty unique looking and the small reads W H I F of 76 & 34. Can someone help with id'ing that large copper disk with a stud? Hope to have more days like this one!

Congrats on a super hunt, of course I am always interested in any NJ copper find and as Hogge requested, I second that request for photos of both sides as close as you can to the coin for variety ID purposes. I would appreciate if you PM me the state and county found in for my NJ survey.
The button you found is a WHIGS campaign button, many varieties of them, so a closeup of that might help. I found one years ago with a nice Liberty Cap on the front and the writing on the backside.

The one disc with the tapered stud looks like a golf shoe cleat.

Thanks for all the great responses. I have posted close ups of the N J copper as well as the WHIGS button. I don't know when I can get back to that spot, but, sure would like some old silver. Thanks again!

Don

The back of the button reads extra rich.
