Hi all, hope you all had a great Christmas.

Went dump digging today in 40+ degree weather. Did not have as good of a haul as on some other recent hunts, but I found two metal buttons which is a first for me. One pictured is unidentifiable, but the one with the anchor is in good shape. There is some rust scaling on the back which hides any manufacturer stamp. Look familiar to anyone??

Also found a clay marble, a porcelain door knob,an individual creamer bottle that they used to use at re staraunts an a Mason's patent 1858 pint jar that I think will clean up real nice.

Thanks for letting me share!

Mr R

Great finds. The bottle looks really good. It's great finding things like that from over 100 years ago not broken or cracked.

I am no expert on buttons but a buddy just dug the same Anchor button in an 1850 site,I guess it was British.
