2nd trip to cellar hole..Pops up 1/2cent #14.few buttons and a mourning cufflink

[MonkeyBoy]

Went out this evening with the whole family.. slow going at first since I left last's nights hot spot for the boys to hit. I branched out and hit the outer edge... after they gave up and left I dropped back and started hunted it really slow. I managed a few more spun pewters... a few early musket balls and the first coin.. a 1809 half cent.. that makes 14 total for my collection!! The most interesting item is the oval silver button with with what appears to be an eagle on it.. never seen anything like it.. any ideas?? Not shown are are the 1/2 dozen musket balls..all early and a few other odds and ends... The half cent is 1809 not too bad and it was pretty deep about 9" or so....

Pretty productive site... two trips out and I have dug 15 early buttons and one good coin// ok maybe that is not an eagle! but what is it

** The Cufflink is an early mourning cufflink... thanks for the info everyone

enjoy and HH

Monkeyboy , I believe I'm seeing something more like an urn of some kind not an eagle on that button.

I'll post a pic of the back.. but I'm pretty sure it is a button.. I have some other early ones that are the same shape from 1700s and early 1800s sites... I might be wrong.. but the back looks just like a button..

Love those buttons! It never ceases to amaze me just how many times you can hunt a spot and never seem to get it all. You sure are on one heck of a roll this year. Pitdiggers-
