On my most recent outing I managed to pull up what I believe are two more Connecticut State Coppers, but I am not 100% certain as they seem to be different sizes and are very worn. I can just make out --TORI. on one of them so that one probably is. I also found a strange holed button, something that is new to my collection, a William Henry Harrison Log Cabin Campaign Button, two (what I believe are) dropped Brown Bess musket balls, and a couple other nice buttons. The Tombac I found seems to have a silhouette on it but I can't seem to find anything about it - it may just be strange tarnish.

The button which I believe has a silhouette:

An assortment of pewter, brass, and designed Tombac buttons:

Two extremely worn (possibly Connecticut) coppers:

An 1800 Draped Bust Large Cent, back is in beautiful condition, front - not so much:

Very nice historical saves. Love the log cabin button. Nice variety of digs, congratulations!
 
Very nice. There are a few guys on here that can confirm they're CT's.
 
THE CABIN IS A WINNER AND THE REST NOT FAR BEHIND . THE BUTTON IS A AWESOME FIND
