Thought I better get out today as it may be the last time for a while since we got some snow and much colder weather coming this next week.

This place has been putting out buttons and buckle parts like crazy. In the area 1 of the image is where I found the large shoe buckle frames, buckle parts and a couple tombacs, but area 2 is where I have found all the other buttons. I have found about 30 so far in this little area.

I got a really nice surprise today, I found 3 more engraved tombac buttons that match the one I found a couple weeks ago.. all have their shank.. I've never found two matching before let alone 4 of them.

Now this last piece has me really interested, its an inch long, so the overall piece would of been big. I believe it may be lead, or pewter, and I believe it may be a button as you can see where the arrow is, I think may be where the shank was but I could be completely off. I'm hoping a little more gentle cleaning will help me figure out what it may be. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
