A bunch of 1700s Coins and Buttons

[grasshopper]

Got out today at the 1790s courthouse site. The owner bulldozed a bunch of trees, completely opening up the area. I've been here many times before and thought i cleared it out. Boy was I wrong......

Got a couple of tombacs including 2 with beautiful decoration. An infantry eagle button and a few plain flat buttons.

3 coins: 1700s George III Irish halfpenny, as well as a dateless large cent and a completely blank copper.

Nice finds. Old stuff! Blank copper is frustrating.

The larger machine turned tombac is a design I haven’t seen - very nice one!

That is really nice. I especially like the dandy button. A few sites I have tried this year had been hammered in the past, so didn't get much. Nice to get the buttons.
