1891 Seated Dime, 1888 & 1901 Indian Head Cent & Old Eagle Button

I got out to one of my woods today and the first find was an
old Eagle Button with some gold gild left on it.
I've been whining
lately because I have never found a Seated Liberty Dime while
that was my second find of the day. Than came the 1901 Indian
Head cent. Next was a key, with Cleveland U.S.A.
National Key Co. with B10 on it.
Than I took a break and had some pop and headed back in and
found the 1888 Indian Head Cent.
I have no idea what the Eagle button is but I think it is from 1800's.
Roger

I understand the whining about not finding any Seated Liberty coins.

I carry a hanky for the tears when I am detecting.
I use my shirt sleeve. Even wipe my nose on it.

Thanks mcmurphi. I'm in another old area that could give up gold coins. Hoping

Let me see if I got this right? The guy who is finding gold coins everywhere is concerned he has not found a seated dime yet? Any one of your finds posted would make most peoples day a success on that one item alone. That IH is in great shape also. :thumbsup:

HH,

Post a close-up of the backmark, and we could probably give it a timeframe for you.

It was on my wish list for a long time. I have found seated quarters and one seated half but no seated dime. As far as the gold coins I only hoped that I would find one some day. I like finding the old silver coins. I would also like to find a half dime, a silver 3 cents and a 20 cent coin.

There is no markings. The button is three piece. The top with the eagle is set into a ring than the bottom set into the ring and the ring was pressed to hold both together. Ill get a better pic of the back.
 
Re: 1891 Seated Dime, 1888 & 1901 Indian Head Cent & Old Eagle Button

Better pic's. It looks like 4 stars on it. The eagle is holding the something in each claw.
Maybe cannons.
