3 Different Days at My Favorite Spot (plus a 4th day added)

[Montana Jim]

I don't usually post here but have been wanting to.

These are not all from today... each picture represents one day for about five hours. The pics show only what I kept and the rest was iron fort & farm trash that filled a five gallon bucket. All came from private property near an Indian War era Montana Infantry Fort.

Thanks for looking.

Yes... it's a little (1 1/2 inches) lead shingling hatchet (momento?) and it has raised letters that say "washington hatchet"


River Rat... I've been digging there for over a year... 8) I have a few tables covered in stuff and yes, there is some more!

Dang... I forgot the buttons picture from this place... these are a years worth of "eagle" button finds from the same area.

Thanks for looking.

** my best Nepolian Dynamite voice ** "yea, I've dug maybe infinity relic pieces." LMAO

...but only one era coin! A Real nice 1877 cc seated liberty dime. I bet you found more than one coin last year! I think I'll get pics of all my stuff and put it in the "collections" section here.

Re: 3 Different Days at My Favorite Spot

We have a few old trading forts near where I live (Montana) I was wondering if they would produce anything good. I wondering what metal the buttons are made out of?

Brass. All (most) the U.S.Eagle buttons are brass and other (depending on the backing, manufacturer, date made... ect... )

Damn near every round is 45-70... sometimes a 50-70 or other miscellaneous round to include several sizes of musketballs.
