That pewter is actually octagonal. It could be a cufflink, but I would date it to the later part of the 18th Century

Well done Charlie. I am ready to see more coins come out of that spot.

Best of luck to you sir!

Thanks crusader that makes sense
After reading it , it fits.

Agree with CRUSADER, the long US button is a padlock keyhole cover or "DROP" from a Russell and Erwin padlock.

Simple Charlie! That's the on/off button to a colonial *****

Nice digs Charlie. There's got to be some coins around there somewhere.

I'm not the "go to guy" for identification Charlie, but I can tell you I'm jelly and happy for you all at the same time. Congrats on a good site, keep digging bud.
