A day filled with buttons

[VTSwinger]

Found all these in a small area off the shore of Lake Champlain. A variety of eagle buttons, a cavalry button, wheaties, V nickels, and some stuff I'm still trying to ID.

Sweet score, congrats. Your brass item on the left looks like a tent rope tensioner. (tightener?) Sub

Great finds Thanks for sharing em with us. Looks like you have a great site to hunt wow!!!! Welcome to tnet!!!!

I agree with the tent rope tightener. Could be Civil War or later. The two large discs are WWI era collar discs.

You guys are great! Thanks for the info! I had been calling them buttons for lack of a better word and not finding anything. And the rope tightener, I would have never guessed but I knew it wasn't just scrap. All my good targets were at the end of the range of my detector and there were a lot of iffy signals that I passed on. After researching how to get the most out of my AT Pro I'm excited to go back and dig a little deeper.

EAGLE buttons look like late 1800s' - other stuff looks like 1890 - 1920
probably a WW I training camp - do some research
all those relics are collectible - specially the collar discs - those can go for $25 and up
but even those brass tent pulls are worth saving - seen them sell on some sites for $5
