Crazy find today. Modern change but then there were a few relics and these were all buttons.

One is a cuff button and another is a lead disk that has a iron shank passed though it.

The third button is pewter and was aptly identified by a Treasurenet contributor as a War of 1812 general service button; this is my oldest military button.
Follow-up on this post is necessary due to recent information on the "U S" piece. Turns out it is NOT a button, so this post is more aptly titled "2 buttons and a US horse harness rosette."

You have me intrigued now. What US coin design do you find most favorable? Morgan?
 
Congrats on your finds Mike, that old ground is still giving up some really nice finds. Keep swing low and slow for those low tones.
 
Nice finds, congratulations! :occasion14:
