My lost settlement (long with lots of pics)

[mxtswinger]

Howdy folks. I haven't posted in quite a while, but this one might make up for it. I have been researching and looking for a late 18th to mid 19th C. settlement for about 2 yrs. now (off and on). I believe I found it about 2 weeks ago, and am just now getting time to share the results. Between detecting about 4 hrs a day, and trying to get everything cleaned and photographed, I've been huffin and puffin. I'll start with the coins, of which there weren't all that many (so far). Then I'll do buttons, more buttons, and some of the relics. I would love any input as far as ID, and if I have mislableled anything please let me know.

The first two pics are of my first Spanish Silver. Woo Hoo!

Happy Swingin

What an awesome site, you have found some cool relics, congrats on the silver, you found enough buttons to fill a display case, looks like you found a navy button thats along way from the water. Hope you find some more coppers for me to see. HH!

I suspect so, but I haven't had time to research it yet. Hopefully someone here can let me know.

Yes I believe so. I am still researching to find out what tombacs and Hessian buttons are, but the ones I had been thinking were silver washed seem to resemble the pics I've seen so far on the net. I'll get some better pics of them and post them on the Help forum.
Thanks and HH
