Hi everyone!
Today I found my largest button, and I don't know much about buttons - but I wonder if this is a "Dandy"? It's 35mm wide, but it's not decorative (no designs on it). Does anyone know how to estimate the age / date of this button?
I also found another small button with the shank broken, and a part of a broken buckle. While I'm asking: does anyone know how to determine age of a buckle like this?
One other cool find was the crushed up thing with holes - I believe it's an oil lamp burner.
And the chunk of metal (lower right) is old lead I believe, from the weight and color.
Overall a great 1-hour hunt!
