Got some free time today so you know I had to go swinging. I went on the outskirts of my honey hole and hit this button at a solid 7 on the 800. Also eyeballed this glass wine bottle top that I love. Got some lead and things but the button is something I wish I could get a date on. Anyone knows I’m all ears. Thanks for always letting me show my humble finds.

Well done truth.
A lot of hunters overlook the perimeter of the park or property.
Congrats on your finds.
 

That glass stopper isn't for a wine bottle. It's for borosilicate glassware, used in chemistry labs.
 

Here you see one in a volumetric flask...fg5640-5qr_series_volumetric_flasks_preview.webp
 

Your button style became popular mid 1800's so I'd easily put it in the Civil War period.
 

Nice button. Nice glass find also. Congrats.

i have found a pewter 4 hole just like that at a late 1700s to mid 1800s site, very nice
 

There has to be at least one large cent floating around in that area. Hope you find all of them!
 

cool for sure
 

definitely civil war era button.... nice finds !
