1805 Large Cent and RI Civil War button

[93vector]

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.

Great finds! There's probably more there too. Keep looking in that general area. It's nice to see another Rhode Islander join us.

2 great finds! It's good to see an old copper coin come up in that condition, i.e. excellent.

You must have friendly soil there.

Those are some stellar finds you made. The large coppers are always exciting to unearth, and yours is a beauty!
