Was able to get back over to the farm yesterday for a bit.
Best find was this early 1800s Tombac coat button with wire eye still intact on shank.
Couple of other items as well

Update
I figured out sign i found

Wish it was in better shape
Found this where there was a train depot back in early 20th century

That is a really neat sign. Those bottles are soooo common in early 1900s dumps. Mostly are considered a trash bottle because of how common but it would be cool to display one or two with the sign.

Is that writing on the front of the button?

Is that writing on the front of the button?

I thought so at first but I think it's just corrosion

 

[ncsuwolf]

Look again, corrosion doesn’t occur with 90 degree angles. May be a pattern, not writing, but 99.5% sure that’s man made.
