1907 Jamestown Tricentennial Fob, Eagle Button, Silver & More!

[mangum]

I had a great time yesterday & saved a little history! My favorite find is the large 1907 Jamestown Tri-Centennial watch fob, a very cool piece! I also found a Civil War eagle button with a lot of gilt. I accidentally hit it when digging, knocked the face off & bent it bad (doh!). Luckily I was able to bend it back into shape & reattach the back (not perfect but better than it was!). I also found a silver dime, silver quarter, an 1879 Indian head, 3 flat buttons & other assorted relics.

Lot's of COOL old Stuff, You usually do pretty dang good finding relics.

The Button looks Good Now , but Id never forgive myself for hitting it.
but
That's just me.....too hard on myself.

P.S. The flat buttons would have made my day , they are 'Rare' here . Maybe it's because Gen. Sherman Burned down everything in 1864 I do find alot of molten brass. LOL

Silver is Sweet as well.

double-talk

[h=2]As nouns the difference between tercentennial and tricentennial[/h] is that tercentennial is the three-hundredth anniversary of an event; tricentennial while tricentennial is the 300th anniversary of an event or happening.

[h=2]As a adjective tricentennial is[/h] occurring every three-hundred (300) years.
