Hey guys the flesh got weak I promised myself that I was going to take it easy on my body that place a hunt is brutal Indian mounds in brick. So I woke up in the mood to not metal detect but I lied I had to go for a little while you know. But hears where in at found two buttons Another not military which sucked but nevertheless would you let me know around about what age? I appreciate it as always follows thank you

Is it a tombac? I know it’s got to be old it was real deep

No, neither appears to be tombac, but buttons with cast as opposed to soldered shanks are older and it's hard to tell from your pics (they don't enlarge enough for my eyes) to tell if either has a cast shank. Regardless, very nice finds, brother! :icon_thumright:

I appreciate it Erik i’m getting feedback that they’re thinking late 18th century or early 19th century.
