This morning I spent 4 hours or so hunting my colonial banner field (since y'all don't like the term "honey hole" 
) and was rewarded with three buttons and a rosette. The buttons are 20mm, 13mm, and 12mm; the 12mm is thicker than the others and may have had lettering on the back at one time. (I'll check under the microscope on Monday.) The rosette was found in a trashy section of the field where nothing of note has been found until today. It's plated, and has a small pattern.
So then I went to another site that has history from the turn of the 20th century, where I'd previously found my first V nickel, a worn-smooth large cent, Barber half and SLQ. With exception to the LC, all coins dated between 1900-1912, until today. The first coin was a 1902 Barber dime in decent shape, then a slightly-bent IHC that turned out to be from 1889, a 1912 wheat, 1919 wheat, and 1919-D wheat.
Here they all are:
Now the dime and IHC:
And the rosette, which is in bad shape but the pattern is intact:
