Well I got back out on the early site that BuckleBoy and I have been working. Still no coins, but I'm holding out hope. :-\ I did find another tombac button with the loop. AND while trying to recover a small bit of a cut nail, I found a small ball. I thought it was a piece of buck shot at first, but when I waved it across my coil...nothing. :icon_scratch: Upon further investigation, it turned out to be a glass or amber bead. So maybe I found a form of currency. Native Americans were still in the area when this home site was first occupied. Who knows??? :dontknow: I've also included a pic of a button I found on Friday at this site. BuckleBoy says French and I agree. If anyone has any additional info on this button, reply. Thanks!

Try to "backlight" it with the sun during the day.
