Colonial site finds. 1902 Barber Dime, 1820's Navy button.

Hey all: Went out with Funkman, Bergie, Mountain2, Bluezman and had a great time today. We all found some really nice things. Thanks all for a great time.
On the way home Bergie and I stopped at an old colonial home that Bergie had been before. The owner was home and gave us the OK. Found some great buttons and a nice 1902 Barber Dime also a silver spoon with the initials R.A.H.
Thanks to PBK for the ID of the US Navy button made around the 1820's.

Great Finds. Always enjoy finding monogramed eating utinsils. Seeing if you can find out if the initials match any previous owners to the site you're hunting is half the fun.
Congrats,
Jules

The dime and button are cool, but that spoon takes the cake!

Thanks for the photo of the house too. Looks like a beautiful spot.
