Seated halfdime, dimes,LC, CW button, Indians, Morphine bottle, & Misc.

For the last two weeks I have been pounding a few field sites before the crops come up and found a few goodies. I was on my way back to the car after a 1 button day and found the halfdime.
It was a rush to see that small silver disc sticking out of the plug. The LC and CW button were 20 feet apart. Luckily the best of the Indian heads was the 1876 semi key date.
The Mrs Wilson's Soothing Syrup was sold from 1850 until outlawed in 1909.
It was Morphine and recommended for teething pain. It became known as the baby killer.
Thanks for looking and best luck to all. Merf :hello:

Some top notch finds and Great photos. Thank you for a wonderful post, Merf--as always! :thumbsup:


That backmark on the button on the left in the 8th photo down is something I have seen posted here before--but I don't think it was on a button...maybe a padlock or a lock cover? I don't remember what it was on, and I don't know how the heck I could find it, but I will try. Perhaps PBK would remember if you PM'ed him.


Best Wishes,

As for the turquoise looking ring, looks to be more modern make, costume.
One nice lot of finds, Thanks for showing them.





Thanks for the kind words and the link Lostcauses :thumbsup:

Looks like 1846----Too bad the front is missing.
