Carrot Field Finds

[robfinds]

Hello all,
I spent a pleasant couple of hours late this afternoon, searching around the edge of a local carrot fields. These are the best of the finds. Had a little round weight, a 1944 penny, a Royal Grenadiers army button (not sure how old), and a very worn half penny of William and Mary minted 1694.

Robert.

Button looks like fairly modern French. Bird cage type loop?

I've never found a W & M.

It's not just a single loop, if that's what you mean by bird cage Iron Patch.

That style of button was very common with the French. I have also seen some with normal loops so wouldn't rule it out as French. Doesn't say anything on the back or front?

It is brass/copper right? (Not pewter/white metal of some sort)

Like the top row, the bottom are probably also flat, so not the same. An early one would not be a common find like the one posted above.
