1813 silver from the fields!

[Goes4ever]

Hunted all day with my buddy in the fields. Finds were slim but still had a blast. You can just barely make out the date of 1813 on the back of the German silver coin. Found a few buttons and an arrow head laying on top as well. Anyone have any info on the large button, age?

Congrats on today's finds. 1813 is awesome for an Ohio dig. That one button sure is unique.

Nice hunt& killer finds the large button may be RN YC (Yacht Club) (with the anchor)..a maker backmark/name would give the dating a clue..

Of course the coins/buttons are cool, but man I like the arrowhead most, very cool!, 1813 is a nice early silver too, congrats

A little info on the button. RNYC may refer to the now Royal Northern and Clyde Yacht Club (formed in 1978 as merger of two much older yacht clubs - The Royal Northern Yacht Club (founded 1824) and the Royal Clyde Yacht Club (founded 1856). The "royal" designation given to the RNYC was believed to be the first given to a British yachting club. You can read more here

As wiki is helpful but not always accurate, further digging found some references/pictures here:

Finally, as your button does not appear to have thistle tipped wreaths as many of the examples do, I'm guessing you have a variant of the typical RNYC button, a backmark ID may help narrow things (many were made by two british firms: Armfield is one, Gaunt is another) as well as nail down age. Guess from other finds you made close to the button as well as the feeble depth of research ive devoted to it, i'd say last quarter of the 19th century.

Cool find!

Agreed the 'broadly' looking Victorian era Crown must put it in the late 19th C bracket. I only have a couple of Yacht Club buttons (not this one), I think the low numbers makes it a rare find.

Great looking button & a nice early silver.

Sick hunt with that variety. I'd be most happy with the arrowhead. After hundreds of hours walking slowly, looking down at bare dirt, I have yet to find one.
