    Acrylic (water based) v. Enamel (oil based)

    Buttons in field beside my house

    I believe these are just basic everyday wear buttons for farmers or other civilians but not sure as the age. Several are small flat buttons and two are dome shaped. They are brass and are wafer thin, causing me to believe they are pretty old. Can anyone confirm?

    Unknown Ford part

    My first find of 2017. It's stamped with the Ford logo but not sure what part it's from. I found it at a farm site dating back to the 1800s. Looks like it's made of brass and is about 2 inches long.

    Weird civil war relic - Need help!

    I have found several of these small brass (so I believe due to the coloring and lack of corrosion) tubes. They are tapered at one end and have a small splice on the same end. I am almost certain it is some miscellaneous civil war relic, due to their proximity to other identifiable relics I have...

    Robin Hood Arms Clipper Headstamp

    I found this shotgun brass in my yard, oddly enough. I live in west Michigan, and not much here is really very old. My lot was carved out of the oaks and sand dunes about 20 years ago.
