Was digging a spot I’ve been doing and was shocked to find this on my second hole I’ve been finding a lot of flat buttons in this one small area and also a larger buckle I posted recently. If anyone knows how old it may be please let me know want to know if it’s early/mid/late 1700s or 1800s this area was owned since. Early 1700s it was purchased in 1790 by a guy who started a champion trotting horse farm unknown if my spot was part of it but very close to it I believe he lived a little more north . This area had some early settlers as I’m finding lots of pottery/glass/nails/clam shells buried/ buttons/buckles and a few so far unreadable large cents or coppers and also musketballs .thank you

Great finds you are on some awesome hunting ground. I would say at a quick look that is 1700's one thing you can do is look at the areas where the pin went I believe those are called terminals and those can possibly help date it.
