Todays finds from Rev War area, strange LC included

[cam9457]

An md buddy and myself got out to a local Rev war site today that we have hit many times and came out with lots of musket balls and the like before. Today was the best day we have had there yet I think. My finds were one holed LC of some sort, it has the image of a man facing right and what close up appear to be square holes? Also found another LC, 181?. Also found my first what I am guessing is my first British musket ball, measures around .80 across, bigger than all the .50 balls we have found there. Also found a strange little button about three feet away from the British ball. Other finds from today include an old straight razor, a 1964 Roosie, a small copper bell, a 46' nickel, two wheaties a 1919 and 1946, some strange oval shaped whatsit and $1.63 in clad. My buddy found a bunch of good stuff too, I'll let him tell you though. Thanks for looking and for any help on id's!

Heres the button and the Brit ball and two more close ups of the holed copper?

Nice finds on the LC and straight razor. Not sure about the buttons

Nice finds, sure looks like those buttons are homemade!

Thanks guys, seger98 my thinking was that the second "button" was a holed large cent, possibly a King George?

Sweet! I had a blast today! I bet that holed coin is a KG of some form ( maybe someone made it into a button?) Any marks on your button? I'll post my stuff tomorrow when I have a better chance to clean em up.

Looks like that second copper was turned into a childrens' toy.

Those are some good finds!

I was think this too...I don't think it was made into a button. They were called buzzers. Check out this article: http://www.treasurenet.com/treasures/feature/200706.htm

Very cool, any ideas as to what type of coin the buzzer is made from?

Nice hunt and finds! You have a nice site to detect. The two holed coin does look like a King George colonial era copper that could have been a button or a buzzer toy for kids. I have always called those buzzer toys whizzers, mine are all made of lead. You have some great finds and I hope your photography skills improve, LOL. Are you using the macro feature, the tulip looking button? Some cameras do not do macro very well. HH, Mike

 

[cam9457]

Mike I could take really close up pics if there are any parts of the coin or button you would like to see in more detail with my microscope camera if it might help? Just let me know

way to go on those nice finds...

 

[pjroo33]

I'd like to see more of the button back and a closer look at the KG

Buckles,
I think people are just scared of a guy that has nuts big enough to have your avatar. I give you full credit I only agreed with your thoughts...sorry sir.
