November field finds

[Merf]

Greetings friends,
Snow on the ground and 15 degrees out with more snow on the way.
Looks like the field hunting is over for a while. That makes the wife happy--She gave me a honeydo list.
Well here are my recent finds from farm field sites here in northern Illinois.
The bent up silver spoon commemorates the first dormitory for women at NIU.
The Horse button is backmarked Wadhams and co.. Early 1800s I think.
The large cents, two cent piece, and tokens spent some time in the rock tumbler to make them readable.
Thanks for looking and best luck to all, Merf
