Got capped in the woods!

[crabstang44]

Went to the middle of woods where I've been hunting lately and finding lots of buttons and some large cents and today I hit silver, looks like 1836 capped bust half dime, nice big pewter flat button with design, egg shaped button, silver gilt button, another pewter button, musket ball, mystery objects

Lawsy that's one beautiful babe! Could the unknown object at the bottom be a plumb bob?

I've certainly found my share of seated and Barber coinage, colonials, reales and Indians, but have yet to find a bust coin. Nice going. Color me jealous.

Went to the middle of woods where I've been hunting lately and finding lots of buttons and some large cents and today I hit silver, looks like 1831 capped bust half dime, nice big pewter flat button with design, egg shaped button, silver gilt button, another pewter button, musket ball, mystery objects
