Mid to Late 1700's farm finds???

[Syclone]

I was hunting a rumored French Trading Post on an old farm. The land records date back to early 1700's. I found these 2 beauties on my second ever hunt. I think the coin is part of a crown real. The button i have no idea. Any and all information or ideas would be much appreciated.

some great finds you got there! That's a rare button you have there...... I casted my vote for banner. Its the month of the rare cuff links... It looks very similar to the John Adams I just found as far as shape and size go...

You guys up north kill me with these stellar finds. Far as I’ve gone back is around 1830’s. Would die if I found some colonial artifacts... congrats on your awesome find

I agree this is a banner worthy find and have submitted my vote. A highly desirable piece to Rev War collectors and it's safe to say less than 10 known (author of the Washington Button site says 4).
