Wonder why no one has replied to this post but I will. My site I didn't even know had a homestead from the 1800's on it until I first went there and found an 1853 large cent. The next week I got an 1842 large cent laying on top of the ground. So far from this site I have 4 large cents, 3 indian heads and 1 English One Penny from 1862. Also pulled out of this site was a Colt pistol manufactured in 1874. Thought it was a toy at first since it seemed small to me. Much rust on it but still a nice find. Beside pulling coins out of the dirt here I like the old buttons also. Seems like you are bridging a personal gap with the person who wore that article of clothing that the button came from.

Well that's my story anyway.

HH and let us know how you made out at your site.
