?Silver plated flat button and camp spoon?

[acm3]

Last dig of the season since we are going to get a lot of snow and the ground is freezing. Found another flat button in the same spot i found one last week. Also found what i think may be an old camp spoon (found in same place as buttons and a 3ringer). I am finding a lot of nails and bits of rose colored glass in the same holes.

Button: anyone seen one like this? I think it is silver plated on the front since it came out of the ground shiny on the front.

nice digs.Probally a civil war pot spoon,That is one pretty flat button!Don't know if I have seen one quite like it but I know I would like to have it in my collection.How was that ground today?

Both the spoon and the button are much earlier than the Civil War, so you are probably on a early house site.

It does look more like a house sight because of the glass but allot of times stuff around here will be a mixture.I know the button is much earlier but it is not uncommon to find flat buttons and iron spoons in C.S camps.

Looks like a colonial pewter spoon to me. Maybe the OP can clarify.

WOW...thanks everyone. I am new to this so I usually am not aware of history of my finds. I look to the experts on this site to help out and you always come through! I have total access to all 50 acres on this site and so far all of this has been found in the 10 foot x 10 foot area. Lots more to hit when the ground thaws. Now if i can just keep myself calm while I wait. DogIron2 - ground was a bit frozen (about top 2") but not too bad.

I think you are right about the spoon too steve.another look at the finds ,I have to admit my argument was wrong.

Nice old spoon too

THE SPOON LOOKS LIKE A COLONIAL "DOG NOSE" LATE 1600S - EARLY 1700S
I HAVE A SIMILAR BUTTON TO YOURS - ITS NOT SILVER PLATE - ITS ACTUALLY SILVER LAYERED - THEY ATTACHED A THIN LAYER
OF THE ORNATE SILVER TO THE BRASS FLAT BUTTON - I MIGHT SAY MID/ LATE 1700S TO EARLY 1800S
