Plus a horseshoe which is still in the truck.

Show us a couple pics of that silver "button".

I think that it's a cufflink, hand engraved and OLD. That thing looks like the real deal to me.

Congrats to you sir!

Congrats to you sir!

Agreed, looks like a late 18th C link-button (cuff-link).

That is a super nice silver cufflink. That design was popular in the 1750s and 60s.

I was in a hurry this morning, yes, cufflink is more precise and yes, 18th century.
