Third Rev War button this week

[trapperart]

Found these this morning in the same corn field. The melted pieces are copper. Large copper is smooth. I sure was happy to see that 64 come out of the hole. I've barely started gridding the field. I'll hit it every day I can. The second pic is the 3 buttons found this week. good luck to all. Art

Great finds. Grid the field and maybe the next guy will not need to.

Congrats Art! Good looking finds. Do you date the heel plate from the mid-19th century?

Civil War relic sites identify heel plates similarly to yours as military issue. Other evidence shows that such a plate was found on lady's 19th century footware. The only one I ever dug came from close to streetside along western edge of Wyman Park in Baltimore.
