Seated dime and war of 1812?

[Fattony315]

It been a while since my last hunt, but I got out today for a few hours. Hunting a mid 1800 farm in Stillwater ny. It's not far from the Saratoga battle field so I had my fingers crossed. First hit in the yard an 81 and 1 inch. 1875s seated dime- she is worn but still happy. Next hit is an Ihp. Keep hunting same area and I get a 61 at 4inch, I dig the plug and sitting in the bottom of it is an eagle button. The eagle is riding a cannon so my guess is a war of 1812 artillery button. Pick up some other things and a lot of junk.

That's a danged good jar lid. Anything Wells & Provost or Wells, Miller & Provost is always good.
