This site has continued to produce as you can tell from my last few posts and VMI's recent post. The shear amount of buttons has been amazing. Buttons of all kinds, shapes, sizes, and makes. The field where I dug the Rowley made Confederate I gave me another first. This 1808-1820 State Militia Rifles eagle button. Came out of the ground looking great and I had to immediately text VMI to show him but also to laugh at him for not braving the impending fowl weather.

Here are the rest of the button finds. Not as many as usual out here but still interesting. This two piece I'm guessing is civilian and the other cone shaped button is a first for me. Couple more nice tombacs as well.

Found an awesome toe tap. First time I've ever found one with the little nails still in them.

Dug a nice round ball and this lead cow tag I'm guessing. Mat found one as well that is almost identical but his has an old script number on it. Tell me if I'm wrong on the ID

Dug a very nice partial pipe bowl and some more nice porcelain pieces. Got one whatzit as well...no idea if its anything...probably not.

Very nice hunt, great looking button.
The what-is-it find kind of reminds me of a sting holder/tightener on an instrument, but I'm not sure on the actual size.
