BUTTON HOLE PRODUCES MORE THAN BUTTONS!!!! III CENTER AND LARGE COPPER!!!

[muddpuppy]

Hi friends. I recently gained permission to a property I knew had an old home site on it. I spent a whole lunch hour looking for the site with no luck. That afternoon I went back to the map, was working from memory, and got a better idea on location. Well I found that spot and began the hunt. I located an 08 Indian and a button before dark.

On my way back to the car, 300 plus yards away, I got a hit on a little knoll, it was a wedding band. A few feet away, a thimble. Anyways I felt I had a site. I went home and checked my 1875 maps and there was nothing shown. I started my hunt the following day and started picking flat buttons. I worked the site slow and meticulously.

I am about at the end of the searching here and pulled 33 flat buttons, all sizes and materials.

I now have a smaller Bucket list with me being able to check off a 1852 III CENTER and it's a beauty!!! The 1840 large is nice too!

If somebody can figure out what is on the badge I would enjoy knowing.

Keep Swinging

I have yet to find a three cent silver. Congratulations on that one! Very nice.

You got a couple sweet coins there with the LC and 3 center!

Very nice hunt with the silver and the LC, along with all the buttons and what looks like a little silver ring. What's the item with the hanger beside the badge?

 

[Tenspeed]

What a great hunt! The 3 center is still on my bucket list.

I hope you are able to find a lot more at this site!

I am guessing was a slide for a necklace, but not sure. The loop seems large though for that. There are no other markings on it. That is a little silver ring, a child's I'm guessing, with a little heart made of brass? Thanks and Keep Swinging!

Wow. I'd say you definitely found the site! They must have been there quite some time to have worn out 3 thimbles. Nice finds.

sweet coins!

Nice...

I like the 3 cent silver, an odd coin, and a cool find. I happened to get one myself, and kind of keep track of the ones found...not too many are.

Congrats, I wouldn't write that site off just yet.

That's a great site you found there.... Nice finds!

 

[ironhorse]

That's some good finds, lots of buttons, you might get a nice marked one down the line if you keep at it at that site

sounds more like a button hill rather than a hole

It was actually this find on the left I was referring to. Cool ring

Great job on the research and finding the old home spot. Those are some fantastic finds.
Congrats on that 3 center and LC. SWEET!
