I went up to my cottrage the other weekend and found more relics and trade silver. One of the highlights was an old hatchet...probably mid 1800's.
I went for a "wonder" deep into the woods and found a plain button and then found my oldest military button nearby. It is a US 16th Infantry cuff button and this style was made from 1798 to 1802.
Various flat buttons including a dandy button and a jews harp.
And here is my trade silver that I found ...with a couple tinkling cones.
Thanks for looking!
