This site was a Native American lookout point and hunting site and later in the 1700's into the 1800's was used as a colonial picnic site for its unique location and environmental characteristics of a stream, water fall, and granite outcrops. This site has yielded late 1700's buttons, silver reale, and early artifacts. This unique button was found, and is CONCAVE with RICH COLOUR on the back of the button, the shank is missing and measures 16mm, 3.3 grams, or 0.110 oz. From the many flat buttons I have seen most are flat, or concaved inward versus outward. You would think that this concave button is actually more ergonomically correct. The spelling of RICH COLOUR indicates of British manufacture, imported to the United States. The majority of buttons from this site were all British manufactured, but is interesting to see an oddity of the bowl shaped button. Have not seen many of these documented.
