Had a great day in about 1/2 hour time in my back yard. (Rhode Island) Found large cent and button about 50 feet from one another. Land was farmland at one time. Have found quite a few objects in my yard now, 1 other large cent.
Today's large cent is much nicer than my other. Clearly reads 1805.
Did some quick research this afternoon on the Rhode Island button. It is in fact a civil war cuff button. Reads Rhode Island on the top, has an anchor in the middle and reads "HOPE" on the bottom. (same as our current state flag) I can't get a clear picture of the back, but it reads TREBLE GILT.
I am pretty excited about my finds...especialy since they were from my own back yard.
