Lazy Mans Rest starts to reveal her past. Need help with button ID

[crazyjarhead]

Hello everyone, Was able to sneak a short hunt in today while the deer hunter took a break. I was able to get in about 2 hours. Found a few buttons. Don't have any idea on types or era. The Navy looking button looks like it may have been drilled out to be a button Not sure. The large button has no marks that are visible. Found a Canadian shot shell which dates from 1886-1911. Found it on the internet. Found 5 Wheaties in one hole, WOW, with the oldest at 1917D. Also found 2, 1941's, a 1924S, and a 1946S. Also found 2 kerosene lantern tops dated from Oct. 14, 1862. The dates are on the knobs. There are several patents, all within the 1860's . The large lantern was made by the Bristol Brass Co. That's all and thanks for looking. Ron

There are a lot of different types of shells from quite a few manufacturers that have been fired over the years. The Canadian company made a lot of variations as I found online tonight

The Anchor button looks civilian & was probably drilled as a running repair to a broken loop.
