Went out for an hour today to the frozen field in hopes it was thawed some. Last Sunday three inches plus of frozen ground. Some spots where thinner or same. But i swung away and found some coolness. Got a 1951 dog license. Couple dimes, a quarter, penny, 52 wheatie. But most interesting was a bullet and a dandy button. Would love if anyone could shed light on age of either. I havent a clue when it comes to these things. Thanks for any info anyone has 7E28D965-CB48-436C-9BF8-5853E246EFF1.webp2325100A-9986-476C-9A64-4B34BC70290F.webpD8E986AB-0AF2-46C1-B3A3-14877915BA6F.webpB69D5C19-93F3-4D20-A603-39FDB4B01945.webp

Very nice. Congrats
 

That button has to be very old by the appearance of the shank. I have never sen before that type of bullet.
 

The dandy should clean up nicely :occasion14:
 

Beautiful button, congratulations! :occasion14:
 

That button is a real nice one and keeper for sure. The bullet doesn’t look too old to me. Nothing near the age of the button. JMO.
 

Very nice finds, Congrats!!!
 

I love the button, it is hard finding big 1700's buttons like that with a nice design on them. The bullet is also pretty cool, it dates from the "Indian Wars" era (1870's for that type of bullet), according to the internet. Congrats on the very cool finds!

You're over some old dirt.
Congrats on the Dandy button and bullet.
 

Button - 1750-80.
 

I have never seen that design before on a dandy. congrats
 

Those are a couple of nice old buttons.
 

Dandy button is nice, I hear ya with the frozen ground My gloves got wet day ended before it started. Nice relics Well done Tommy
 

I love finding buttons. They are so personal. Coins are worth more but there's something about buttons and buckles.
 

Nice big button with some fancy on it! Congrats! :icon_thumleft:
 

Very cool old button.
The bullet looks like a wad cutter.
I have dug so many of those.
These are great rounds for target practice due to the hole they leave in the target.
 

That’s a great looking button. Congrats on all the finds.
