button, bottle and spike !

[3searchin]

Went out for a quick half hour to try my luck. Ended up going to the 1840's house again. Still waiting for this site to produce anything other than scrap metal and nails. Well today it may have gotten a little better. After digging old chain links, melted tin cans, and small metal pieces for about 20 minutes I dug the spike or chisel. I then continued around the yard. Walking along a freshly brush hogged area I noticed the bottle (eyefind and the bottle has "houbigant" and the number 7 on the bottom) and the heat started getting bad. So I swept a little part of the yard on the way back to the truck and I hit the button. I'm sure I've seen these on here before and there is writing on the back but I can't quite make it out, but I guess it could be civil war era ?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.....

Thanks for looking
