8-31 hunt OKC

Oldest silver I have found

Went to several locations today. Started off at a house dates to 1917 a friend of mine went to school with. I scored two wheats 26 and 44. And my friend said I got the unique find for today. It looks to be a button in the shape of a purse. It has two holes side by side about the size of a dime the back side is smooth no words at all on it. But today I found my oldest silver to date. It says 191 what I believe to be a 8. But any way it is my oldest to date found 20 never teens.

Any assistance will be great and appreciated I can get on the purse button as I will call it now

Considering statehood happened in 1907 a house from 1917 is pretty old, relatively speaking! I am a transplanted Okie and want to come back and detect around old family homes!

It looks like an ornate button maybe off of a purse, or a charm from a bracelet that used to have a little bow tied in it!
