Wow what a afternoon I had! 
I got permission (from my wife) to take off for a bit so I headed over to some bean fields that I've been working lately and got some good early large cents out of. But today as I drove near them I see all sorts of green shrubbery growing in fast so i figured I'd better stay out til this fall again
Oh well, just around the curve is another field for corn that I started working last Spring and got two old Canadian Tokens from (1816 & 1854). It hasn't been tilled up yet this Spring and I've hunted it quite a lot so I wasn't too sure that I'd find much. Boy was I wrong!
Not pictured is my first find, a old horse shoe. I thought "this is a good start for good luck!" ... then it happened! A beautiful fully intact and in perfect condition EAGLE BUTTON! Woohoo!! I've never seen one, only in pics have I ever seen one and here I am holding onto my very own Eagle button
Then came a nice 1831 Large Cent! And then.... yep, another eagle button. This 2nd one isn't nearly as nice as the 1st but who cares, I got TWO EAGLE BUTTONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After deciding that I cleaned up the place until the farmer tills it up again I then moved further down the road to another field waiting my return visit. Got a few more buttons there and a headless little porcelain doll. I also dug a button backing it looks like and it has a spread eagle in it also. This one is bent and split though. What a great day I had!
I will try some pics here but my files may be large...
Now, who can tell me all about these Eagle Buttons i have? Are they c.1812?
