Flat Buttons - How Old??

[SaginawIan]

Here are various buttons that I dug from dantheman's secret hunting spot that appears to be an 1850's or so homestead. I haven't dug many of these. Could someone comment on the design and age of the buttons? Notice that one is very thick and they all appear to be homemade or hand forged. The larger one has the words "london" on the bottom with a circular rope edge surrounding it.

Thanks, Ian

the one piece buttons are probably late 1700s to early 1800s. the one with the holes... i dont really know but would guess mid 1800s.
