It been a while since my last hunt, but I got out today for a few hours. Hunting a mid 1800 farm in Stillwater ny. It's not far from the Saratoga battle field so I had my fingers crossed. First hit in the yard an 81 and 1 inch. 1875s seated dime- she is worn but still happy. Next hit is an Ihp. Keep hunting same area and I get a 61 at 4inch, I dig the plug and sitting in the bottom of it is an eagle button. The eagle is riding a cannon so my guess is a war of 1812 artillery button. Pick up some other things and a lot of junk. IMG_0102.JPG IMG_0103.JPG IMG_0106.JPG IMG_0107.JPG

Thanks for making it look so easy. I have still yet to find anything Seated. I did find a 1875 Counterfeit Seated Dime from the 1800's does that count? Lol Congratulations my friend.

Looks like an Albert's AY 51B. Any Artillery button from this era is a great find. Very nice digs!

Love old seated silver but, the old Artillery Button is Headlining this Show! Very nice button. Love the history of that one. Great relics and a cool Hotwheels belt buckle to boot. Nice going.:headbang:

Great looking button, and congrats on the old silver as well.
What's the 1854 piece, a cap?

Well I looked it up and found that it's the top to tin canning jars. It's made of lead so it wasn't a good idea. Found it on a site call jerrys jars.
