I haven't done much cellar hole searching, but wanted to hit one of my list before the plants grow too thick.
The first button has a nice decorative front, and the back reads "ORANGE COLOUR." I'm afraid to clean it too much, as it's flaking a bit... Do you think a quick hit with soap, water and a toothbrush would be beneficial or hurt it? Any idea on age?
The 2nd button has a plain front but the back had a nice decoration and reads "TREBLE GILT." Age?
Also picked up three buckles too - age?
Late in the hunt got a nice silver reading. Thinking seated or even Spanish silver I dug carefully... out pops a small siver disc. Couldn't tell what it was, but what peeked through looked foreign. Put it in the car and rinsed it off when I got home... a Barber dime - 1892-O. Turns out the detail that was visible was "8" in the date showing sideways. Was hoping for my first spanish silver but it will have to wait.
