Weekend: Pewter Button & IHC

[Carolina Tom]

It hasn't rained much in the last month, so I was glad to see it rain, however, it kept me from hunting very much this weekend.

Smittyman and I got a couple of hours in on Saturday. P@tch and I were completely rained out on Sunday.

Here is what I was able to locate:

- My first pewter button. ID'd by Crusader as circa 1780s.
- 1893 IHC (#7 for the year... I only got 8 in all of 2015)
- Junk ring
- Adjustment knob from oil lamp. It says "REISSUED JUN. 30 1868". I can't read what it says on the outer part of the ring. Anything that says 1800s on it is good for me.

We are going to NJ to hunt in a couple of weeks. Hopefully I can find something good to post on that adventure.

Thanks for looking and best of luck on your hunts!

Nice finds Mr. Tom. By the green on that button I would say it's a crude brass one vs. pewter. I found a similar one at a Rev War site
