Got our oldest button! And bottle!

[Lenrac2]

We went back to the park digging up gas lines hoping they did some more. They did do a little. Right in front of the bobcat, right on top of the ground was a complete bottle! Sadly, nothing on it. Got a Leavenworth button that according to an old post here is from 1839-1849! Our oldest! The little button is military but pretty toasty. I see the eagle and shield though. One of the shotgun shells is PCC League 10 gauge. First of those we found. The only coin was a 1940 nickel. Oh well. We had fun. I sure hope they dig up some more! I love the bits of glass and pottery! Have a great tomorrow!

I like the bottle. Does it have a pontil scar? Looks to be tooled or applied lip so most likely 19th century.

Nice recoveries.
Liking the bottle as well
A picture of the side seem will narrow down the age range, and it there's any markings on the bottom.
Best of luck if they dig some more.
