I went back to the place that I found the 1851 Saber Belt Plate and Vermont Button, and had one heck of a day! The construction crew demolished an old 1920s house, and I was amazed at what came out from underneath it!!! I dug well into the night, nugget after nugget! My finds include:

9 Bullets (3 minie balls, 1 gardiner, 1 enfield, 3 colt, 1 round ball)
1 sword scabbard tip
1 1876 silver dime
1 1871 indian head penny
1 1867 shield nickel
1 1810 Large Cent
3 Eagle buttons (2 cuff; 1 Gold plated Coat)
********************** Here come the goodies
1 Solid Cast C.S.A. Button
1 1793 Chain Cent
1 Unknown Token (last two pictures; I think its a Prussian medal c. 1815, it says "NEUE EHRE NEUES GLÜCK" on the front and Voll Muth on the back. I am unsure of the value, any help is appreciated!!!)

The back and front both need some cleaning, but to be honest, I dont know how to clean something like this. I don't want to damage it since it is so valuable!

You need to wait on cleaning that chain cent. You do NOT want this to be your first rodeo with a coin so excellent. And please do NOT use water on it. Water is a cleaning method! It is just fine as it is for now. So take some time and gain some perspective. Congrats on these astounding finds!

Your found a German Jetton & in great condition as well. When I get time I can look it up for you, but by then you will probably have a full ID anyway.

That CSA button is amazing! You don't see too many of them. That, along with the chain cent and other relics makes this a banner find imho.
