SC state seal button, Trilby , & 196? small cent

Seems like I always run out of time at night to post. Here's some finds from the last few days at the plantation house.
I found a nice South Carolina state seal button today at lunch, and a 3-ringer only about 10 feet away. Ya-hooo.
Here are my goodies:

*South Carolina state seal button (23mm). "Horstmann & Allien/NY" back mark. (Alberts book SC14)
This is kind of a unique one in that the word "Opibusque" in the motto is misspelled as
"Opirusque".

*20mm "Plated" back mark flat button.
*21mm "Double" back mark flat button.

*3-ringer

*Old pocket watch chain.

*"TRILBY" cast iron vent piece from a wood stove.
Any idea on the age?
*Tiny copper bell with hash mark design on both sides. (It polished up nicely too)

*A 196? memorial small cent. Someone must have been bored and trimmed this sucker down.

*Asst's buckles / clips.

*Old barbed wire piece.
I've never seen this style before. Any idea on the age?

Me and two other TN members will be hitting the place again on Saturday. (They better not find a reale )

Thanks for looking.

Thanks Civil.
I hit both the SC button and 3-ringer within 5 minutes in a small section of the first horse pasture that Mirage and I hunted. It was a section where the horses congregate by the water tank, so I had avoided it in the past. Today the horses weren't in there, so I tried that area, and BANG, right by their salt lick block.
That sure made my lunch.

You owe me nothing Civil.
If you do send me a lunch box though, can you make it an Evel Knievel, Munsters, or The Monkeys?
Where are all the old coins hiding at.

You are definitely on to somehting. Is that a spur end with the green patina? May have been cavalry there. Good hunting!!!

Nice load MM. Now go back and find that solid gold pocket watch that belongs on the chain you found

Nice SC button!!! Way to go!! I am thinking along the same lines as Vol1266-x. You found a broken end of a Cav spur and most likely a Rebel one. Hey man...it is good to be you. Keep swinging!!

Excellent finds. I know that there is still a lot of good material there for you to find. Take your time and get it all.

As for that one part in one of your pictures, maybe being part of a spur, I agree with Vol1266-x and sneaky 6. See the picture that I've attached. Mine is not from a Confederate soldier, but is from an old Army base that existed out on the plaines during the War of the Rebellion. They were fighting indians instead of rebs. But, you can see that the spur took a double strap to hold it on.

Nice find!
