Button/Pin?

[Garabaldi]

Looks like a thumb tack, but backing is not pointed and seems old because of the patina. Any guesses?

Yep, is what it looks like, an early tack. Find them at my late 1700s/early 1800s sites.

But at least if you're finding them you can be confident you're digging signals to get you the small stuff. For someone like me who is out for buttons it's a good sign.

true & they are easier to find than the pieces of lead which are a 1/4 of the size :P

Didn't realize they made tacks that old.
Thanks for the ID again Iron Patch.

Talking tacks?
And do small romans sound different to any other romans?

I have heard that the small romans were the least popular ones during the parties they had in the baths... :P

There ain't no baths in prison!

That's not to say he won't be popular in the shower.
