Colonial buttons ~ tombac , bicycle bell & moxie bottle

[Stealth digger]

Thunderchief and myself went out and got 2 new AT Pro's and hit a few spots and dug up some nice buttons. The bicycle bell looks to be late 1800's from others I have seen online and thanks to the folks here on the forum. From left to right the first button is nice and large with no markings. Second is the tombac and third and smallest says Leavenworth extra on the back. The moxie bottle was just under the surface on the road and i was happy for that score as it was unbroken and i did not have the smaller of the moxie bottles. As you can see in the background we also dug a lot of other stuff.

Here is the video of our first adventure with the new AT Pros and these finds.

Cool, it was the 13 star flag that was the confusing part. I love this thing & thanks for sharing.

Enjoy your videos. I just dug a bell top also with no design on top. Very heavy and cleaned up really well with oil. Look forward to my yearly trip to our cabin on lake in Maine. lots of woods and cellar holes. Jersey boy with Maine roots.

Really digging the Moxie bottle

I just dug a bell just like yours. Same size shape, but no flag.I dug it next to a pewter spoon. Bell has to be turn of the century. Also in your video with moxie video what is the rusted ring relic and what was it used for? I just dug one too, but have no idea what it is. Love Moxie by the way, former "Mainer".

Nice finds. Love the Moxie bottle. If you weren't aware, Dave Bowers who's also in NH wrote a book about Moxie. http://www.amazon.com/The-Moxie-Encyclopedia-Vol-History/dp/0911572430
