Hey guys I recently went out in the Wissahickon State Park in Pennsylvania with my gf and we had some pretty cool finds. If anyone could help identify some of the stuff I would really appreciate it. I know I have some quartz, maybe a green beryl, and some other cool looking rocks. The find I am most excited about is I believe I found a button from a jacket either from the revolutionary war or the civil war any info or advice would be great. The button is in the top left corner to the right of the red rock.

Thanks,
Dennis

From your picture the button looks like a late 18th century tombac material button. But a close up front & back will confirm.
