Found this button a where the county poor farm used to be 1865-1910. It is the size of a silver dollar and slightly concave. Just wondered if anyone has seen or dug something like this and possible age

That's cool. Thank you for sharing it with us. I can't help with an ID but if anyone can, it'll be one of the highly knowledgeable people who frequent these forums.

On a separate note, I misread your post title as, "Poop Farm Find". 😲
