field hunt finds. IH & buttons.

[jughed440]

Permission granted, i got to hunt an 1800's home site last weekend. The road that once led to the house is also part of the field, which meant a half mile walk to reach the location. As all old farms are, the site was iron heavy but the 8x6 SEF with its excellent depth and seperation performed well.
Unfortunately the hunt was cut short on that day (my excuse)...the meager finds include a 1868 IH, and a couple of flat unmarked buttons. Any guesses on the approximate age of the buttons??

I'll be going back ....this time with my cell phone shut off

I would say those flat buttons are in same range date of your indian, mid to late 1800s

Good hunt
