Not best day today considering I hit the muggy dank woods at 10am and left 5:30pm. Has anyone heard of Manhattan Brass Co?
It says that on one side of this token with a hole in middle, along with a couple patent dates. One patent date may say 1761,, but not sure.
Tthe large cent made my day in last 30 min of detecting this just was laying in nowhere land and showed 85-86 and I knew it would be something good. 1838
I think that button is civil war era? Cool musket ball as well.

Great finds!
I have a feeling that the brass item isn't a token, but a type of dial, possibly for an oil lamp, or sprinkler system.
I might be wrong, but I dug something similar in Denver.
Still a real nice old find.
Kudos,
Carl
