Primary Interest:
All Treasure Hunting
For one reason or another I have been absent from T-net but I plan to remedy that today and going forward. To be honest the biggest reason I've been away is that the finds just aren't what they used to be. I also hope to remedy that very soon. Today I just secured permission to a massive site that has amazing potential. Will be hitting it hard tomorrow so will know more then. Today I hunted a newer permission and got a semi modern US general service button as well as the decorative back to a silver pocket watch. Haven't quite deciphered the etching but it is quite intriguing. Also included some of the dribs and drabs from the summer. Nothing spectacular but I am still swinging!

Can't stop swinging dude! Today's The Day!! TNet motto -- you've got a high potential site there, let us see more! :occasion14:
 

You'd better give that bottle back Romeo or the Mounties will chase you down egh! Lol

Glad to see your post. Great buttons!

Glad to see your post. Great buttons!

I think the statute of limitations expires after 100 years or so...haha!
 

Good looking glass and other finds! Hopefully your new permission will be awesome, good luck.

What's the story on the dog/bird button? Any info on it? I think I found the very same button a while back but never really looked into it.
 

I'm not a bottle collector, but I appreciate how nice those bottles are.
 

Very nice assortment of finds !! Those bottles are extra cool. Very hard to find those not broken I'm sure...Congrats !!
 

Those are some great finds! Love the bottles! Congrats and good luck with your new permission.
 

Wow! That's a nice haul of way cool relics there mate. Loving the glass bottles too. Looks like a great sight with much potential. :headbang:
 

I also haven't had too much to say on here lately, and even less to post. Have been keeping busy - just to keep busy, but also to get ahead of the game and try to have a great Fall digging. I've added a few extra things to my arsenal, so am fired up about that... but more fired up not necessarily that they will make a big difference, but it motivates me to research. We'll always hit our best old fields after the plow, but have to start trying to find some different land to walk, and that's something that gets a little more difficult as the years go on... and I'm sure you are starting to experience that to some degree. From this point on I'll also try and be more active on here, but likely won't be hunting until the 13th when newfie boy is in town.

Sounds like the morning coffee is going to taste pretty damn good today on the way to that new field! I'd probably pay $100 to have for a day on a productive site right now.
 

Awesome finds, Romeo-1, Regarding the silver pocket watch back, I have seen the looped belt design before on antique Pittsburgh PA police badges. Sub 8-)

Welcome back Romeo.......
 

Thank you sharing your finds! You still have some nice interesting items, congratulations! :occasion14:

Pretty sure it's just a sporting button...mid to late 1800s. Hunting scenes were especially popular for this type of button.
