Indians, wheats, early 19th century button
Went to one of Baltimore's older city parks for my second hunt there and it paid off searching around trees. First Indian Head of the day, 1903, was at the base of a tree and then, by the next tree over, two more Indians, an 1881 and 1892 were in the same hole. Two feet from them was a Robinsons, Jones & Co. button; it's surface is concave. Not certain if the button is military. To match the Indian Head cents, there were three wheat pennies: 1916, 1920 and 1947. Possibly from the 19th century is a 30 caliber rimfire casing made by Union Metallic Cartridge Co. I'd appreciate any thing you may add concerning the button or cartridge.
