2nd post DFX finds, backyard button, 1800's farm finds

April 07 DFX ,found this button in my backyard. The next day my daughter and I went to a old farm and found this powder flask, cow tag,and screw on lens cap I think? and green melted glass
The flask is from 1855-1856 and came with a pistol, didn't find the pistol yet.

Many more finds to be posted, as I learn this!

I will go back and make a better search of that area it was the first dig site for me and I didn't have a clue on what the flask was.
That site I'm sure now will produce some very nice relics, considering I wont only look for coins.
My understanding of digging/history has broadened 1,000,000 fold since last April.

thanks for the info
