Got out today, little cooler than last week. Went to a foundation hadn't been to in a while. Got a 1838 Large Cent, #3 this year. Dug six times then saw it lying on top in the pile. Picked it up, beautiful details on back. Turned over, :'( hit with shovel. Still nice piece. Crotal bell, and button. Never got into buttons - can anyone tell me what this one might be. A nice old rusty knife ;D

More pics...
The last pic is apparently a scabbard tip, piece from a bayonet - Thanks Kuger for the ID.

Nice finds especially the crotal bell :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:
It does not seem that you caused much damage to the coin - just knocked off some patina.
The buttons as I see it is just a civilian button with a pattern.
 
Nice digs. LC looks good. :thumbsup:
 
You've got some great looking finds there Deep Seeker :icon_thumright:
That's one beautiful crotal bell, I love the look of the LC, great patina :notworthy:
