Did some quick reasearch this morning and found some bike trails that had several old homesites around them. Took the 30 minute drive to the trail head and started hiking. Got to about where I thought one of the sites would be and pull out the go pro to do a little intro and I didn't put the sd card back in it... so no live digs today. Luckily for filmings sake I didn't find anything too worthy of a live dig. This button was my best find for the day. Let me know if you guys have any info on it, there is nothing on the back so other than the design I have nothing to go on. I found an old bottle from 1910 as well as a plate/piece of metal with the date 1897 if it helps to have a ballpark date to go by. The site was a very trashy spot, tons of relics to be found tho, thinking I might need to invest in a sniper coil.

Nice finds. Looks like a Victorian Era design on the button. My guess would be late 1800s.
