1850's SC Button, colonial goodies

[okpych]

Had a brilliant hunt yesterday with my dad at a site that had colonial, civil war, and early 1900's activity. Thanks to Addam's Relic Hunting Adventures, they're some fine folks for getting us on this property. The mild weather and the open fields made for a nice day spent in the Lowcountry.

Here's the lot

The porcelain button and the bottle were surface finds.

My first 1850's SC Button, Schuyler H & G / New York


This is the key cover of a padlock



This buckle as far as I know could go back to the 1600's since there was a very early site on the property.



My dad really has a knack for digging some good coins early on--he dug the Hibernia and didn't even know what it was. (just like me a few years back )



Thanks for looking, HH!

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments!

My dad dug a musket ball, I noticed at the site that there were two dents in it and didn't question it until he handed it to me later. Took a toothpick and was able to go all the way through the ball onto the other side. I'm assuming a musket ball turned fishing weight by a solider? If so, this just makes it so much cooler!!



Cheers!
