Did a small hunt today and came up with a couple of firsts for me an Rail Road item and a Civil War Button! The partial lock plate is marked LM RR this is the Little Miami Rail Road it was the second rail road to be built in Ohio with construction started in 1837 the line ran until 1975 and much of it is now a bike path. The lock plate was found in a field just a few hundred yards from the old rail line path. The Civil War button is a Muscians button I cannot read the manufacturer's name but they were made by several different companies. Button still has fair amount of gilt on it and the shank is intact.
