I haven't been able to get out much lately, but when I was able, the finds were good. At a site where I previously found two 1773 King George coins I found thirty colonial flat buttons of all sizes, this 1830 Half Dime and these two eagle buttons that I believe might be Civil War era. At a new site where the home was built in 1746 I found some more colonial buttons, this hat insignia which I also posted on the "Help me ID forum, as well as this Naval Button which I am hopping is from the Civil or Revolutionary War.

Happy Hunting!

Wow great finds! I love the Half Dime. Do you have any pictures of the back?
 
Wow! Awesome dime. The civil war didn't start until 1862, so that 1830 dime predates it by 32 years. Great find. Good luck on future hunts. : )
 
those are deff. CivilWar eara.looks like you might be in a camp i would be going back to that spot there for the next few times out
