I’m very excited that I found my first button this weekend after about 6 months of detecting in western PA. I also found a brass (pretty sure) sight that I’m assuming may have been part of a surveying kit. The house I found the items at is a nicer structure build in the 1860’s by a PA Railroad vip. I’m a gun enthusiast and smith, and I have no recollection of seeing a dovetail sight of brass quite like this. I feel it’s was either crudely made by an owner or it served a purpose other View attachment 489356
than firearms. As for the button, my limited research resources point toward lthe1700’s to early 1800’s, but I’m not sure. Any help with either item would be appreciated. I’m just getting started in detecting and would appreciate any help I can get.
