The Farm Still Giveth - ***BUTTON UPDATE*** 1803-1815 !!!

[ModernMiner]

I went to my favorite lunch spot today, the farm I've hunted at for a year now. Since there was a hunters truck parked by the woods, I decided to just stay around the house and rework a grass area where I've found quite a few bullets and buttons before. There was a light mist and the sandy soil was wet. I got a few deep signals and recovered two pretty nice relics.

*My 1st cleaner bullet from this farm. Ya-hooo!
Can anyone ID it?

*An 18mm flat button with back mark "Imperial -Orange Gilt" on it. The unusual thing about this one is it looks like someones initials (?) possibly on the back too. It has the letters "J.H." , but they are upside-down compared to the back mark.
Does anyone know the approx. date of this button?

Nothing fantastic, but not bad for a lunch break. I'm glad there are still goodies to be found OUTSIDE of the woods.
Thanks for looking,
MM

FYI-
The button has been ID'd as circa 1803-1815. The "J.H." initials are from the Joseph Harvey company in Birmingham, England.
It may be one of my oldest buttons so far.

Just like everyone has stated, you have grown as a detectorist. Great job, bud, on that button!

Thanks Kirk.
I need to find at least one piece of 1800's wilver to make my year complete. I may sneak into the Berg or Captn SE's turf if I get down to the wire.
Good luck this w/end.
