Can't help with the button, but if the Barber is an S it is worth a chunk of change. Nice finds!

Awesome button! I can't look it up now, but it's possibly Confederate.

Yep.....Doesn't matter where it was found. My uncle found a Spanish Officers sword or dagger, complete belt buckle, (circa 1800), in Ma. this summer. Previously, these were only known to Florida and Texas. His is the ONLY known, complete example. I have a Sommers Island 6 Pence, large porthole variety, found in Berkshire County. One of only 4 such pieces found on the North American continent. The other 3 were found by one guy, on a beach, in Maine. These are known as "Hogge" money, from Bermuda, from 1616. How it got here is unknown.Montana Jim said:
......So don't dismiss what it truly is by where you found it. Congratulations. Hogge
