"Jackson Victory" flat button and relics

[pa-dirt_nc-sand]

Back at the mossy shoe mansion homesite, listed on 1876 PA survey. The site may be older than I thought. Up to today earliest id'able items were 1890 coins, today I found my first flat button. I believe it is an 1829 Andrew Jackson Victory flat button.
Anyone have any background on this?
Another interesting mystery button a few feet away.
I think this is the body of an old lighter, if you zoom in you can see floral pattern slightly gilded.
Here is a pic of today's finds.
Three wheats oldest 1917. Silver plated fork and I think a cheap gold plated men's ring?
And my favorite item is the tiny blue bottle because my daughter picked this off the ground.
And here is a pic of a creative use for 3 1941 PA license plates to fix a hole in a shack.

Good luck out there!

Just a guess on the button with the intertwined initials: If I'm seeing the letters right they're GDP (in questionable order), and then Co., which Could be Grand Detour Plow Co.

Cool finds! Take the plates, they have a little bit of monetary value.

The license plates are really cool, but man, hammered into the floor to keep coal from falling through holes/cracks feels so period appropriate. The shack is amazingly intact, but looks like it will last only a another season before a big wind storm takes it down. I wish I could dismantle and relocate to one of our local parks and save this piece of history.
