I found two pewter USA buttons today in a field near 1/4 mile from the Indian village of Catherine`s Town wiped out by Gen. Sullivan in 1779, i think these buttons are period.
I also found a dropped three ringer,we don`t see many of these this far north .
Found a lot of beer cans and iron too.

They certainly look period to me. Two in the same field. Possibly more there? Phenomenal finds. I'll second Kirk's banner nomination.

How many machines would have missed those? I'm betting a lot of them. I may have missed my tree coin with lots of other machines. I love the T2. Glad it scored you those beauties bud

You have 2 extremely rare buttons. Quit being cheap and go buy some Elmers glue.. lol.. That being said it gets my banner vote. Outstanding find. :thumbsup:
