Had a bit of an insane day and managed to find a colonial honey hole towards the end, which was a surprise. It was on our way out and I decided to go check out a stone pile which looked like a regular old pile of stones from when they were farming, then started getting loads of buttons, and more...
My father and I found a Thumb Piece (we think) from a Brown Bess musket. It’s inscribed "R (or something else-maybe "I")-28" and the back has a down arrow with what looks like some crude roman numerals. We both found a matron 1831, 1822, and we both found draped busts, 1798, 1802. He also found a cool “In God We Trust” button we still don’t know much about. I also found a beautiful watch winder with what looks like faceted amethyst.
Everything Together:
The Brown Bess - Thumb? Piece:
A Button That Reads "In God We Trust" and a Beautiful Button with all it's Gold Gilt:
The Watch Winder with Faceted Amethyst (we think):
