Looks like some nice finds from the field. Most of the fields I search these days the farmers are no till. That has put the hurts on me.

Most of us on here are old, but what the hell if I can keep swinging I don't feel so old except when I go to stand up (Thank God for my 31" T handle shovel) or I couldn't do it anymore.

You will have many more years to enjoy the sport my friend. The good thing about it that us old guys get a good cardio workout and enjoy it.

It is a good cardio workout that us old guys can enjoy. I use my shovel as a cane when hunting the fields.

Could not read the date on the fatty, 18— something, too far gone. The civil war cuff button is general service, I found one just like it near the same spot a few years ago. The gold gilt flat button back reads scovill’s improved patent mint edge. It is a Civil war era button. The front is plain.

 

[E-Trac-Ohio]

Well it has to be from 1859 to 1864.
If your able to read the last digit - you'll know the date.
"Andre Pencils" could help detail become more visible.
Good Luck !
