I went back to the fields Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was my triple day. I found three casings, three roundballs and three buttons.
Two of the buttons are one piece and the third is an overall snap. It still has material in it. One button has a "Scovills Waterbury" backmark dating it to the 1840s.
Sunday, I found three more flat buttons, the back to a two piece cuff button( That is probably my "Reb") and what I think may be a lead button. Again, one flat button has a "W.W.& Co. Extra" backmark. It may be Wadhams, Webster & Co. which also dates it to the 1840s. Also, the top left button in the fifth picture still had traces of red and blue enamel on it.
I also got an un-charcteristic coin from this site, a 1948 wheat penny. All of the other coins that came from here date back into the 1800s.
I will keep trying because I know my CS buttton is out there.
