Got out for a short hunt this morning with my son... hit the old tavern site that has been so good to us in the past. The farmer started to turn over the pasture, but his plow broke in the process. We can't wait for him to get done! ;D

Picked out these relics... the spoon tab has an early looking design on it, the one button has a small eagle backmark. The front is plain. Anyone have any thoughts about it?

Hopefully tomorrow we can find some goodies at our other good site. :)

You all are in a good spot. I believe your button is British made and from about 1800 to 1820 or so. I'm not sure who used the eagles but I've seen several variations of them on the backs of flat buttons. As far as I know there is no special meaning to them.
