1820's house - 1889 IH & 1800's button w/eagle

I detected at the 1820's house again today. It was in the 30's this morning and soil was still frozen solid as a rock in some places. It took me 6 hours to squeak by with these finds for the day. Nothing too great but I was happy to get an 1800's coin again (1889 IH), and the 1800's flat button with "Gilt" and an eagle on the back. Another large metal decorative button, but it has a rusted iron backing. Old copper spoon that has seen better days. A hood ornament from a Buick Riviera.
Yada, yada, yada.
Headed back on Monday if it doesn't rain.

Thanks for looking,
MM

Groovy finds! I dig the dozer

Was that a pun?
Thanks,

I think he meant, he Doug the dozer, Dug. LOL

Alright, there's only room for one comedian on this post Mike.

I understand Doug, my apologies. It must be the fermented apple "Snyder" I drank today.

Nice finds MM! The copper whatsit looks like an oil lamp top where the wick went through and it looks like you found the wick adjuster as well. HH, Mike

Thanks for that info Mike. I'm going to be making the property owners a relic shadowbox soon. I'll get it posted once I get it done.

That Mike guy..he catches on fast. Might have to put him on the invite list, MM.
Are you selling the lipstick tube or keeping it for you collection? Always terrific finds, Jack.

Nana,
I'm thinking about having that lipstick tube restored and refilled so I can use it again.
You are a NUT!

Yes that is an Eagle on the back of your flat button. I've got a few like that in my button collection as well. Congrats

Thanks,
