I finally got out over the weekend and found what I think is a colonial button, along with 2 wreath pennies (one I lost. BOOO!).
It's been dated 1750-80 by someone well versed in buttons. I am still shocked. I've been hunting this are for a few years, and nothing Colonial has ever been found before. Best I found was a button from late 1820s.
You can still see a touch of gold guild still on it (lower right of pic 3).
