My two most recent finds would have to be the one piece and two piece Revenue Service buttons I found in the Fall of this past year. The one piece I found back in October and the two piece was found in December. Both came out of the ground looking like they were dropped yesterday.
The back mark on the one piece has Y Smith & Co New York, this company was in business from 1830 through 1858. The back mark on the one piece has US Revenue Service, this is from the first run of buttons issued and dates to the 1820's - 1830's.
