Buttons, big copper, and lots of iron this weekend

[TrpnBils]

These came from the same site I posted about the other day where I got the 1799 large cent, the 1806 half cent, and the 1864 "L" variety IHP. The eagle button was a first for me, and I actually found the back to another one when I first got to the site. The Indian Head isn't in great shape, but I'm pretty excited it's an 1859 - first year of mintage and only year without the shield on the reverse so it's a neat addition to my collection. All told, I pulled all of this plus about a dozen iron relics I'm going to preserve over the course of about 10 hours (after another 8-10 at other sites that didn't give me jack) which was about 1/4 the size of a football field.

Nice site your working. Sweet LC and I believe the "Eagle" button is a "general service" Civil War button. Nice condition and save! Congrats on all the good stuff!!
