Couple hunts worth of finds with a lead star button?

[AGBlex]

Some neat finds. One lead star button or seal of some sort. And I believe some sort of early hinged item from near where I found the GW button. Not sure on the age maybe someone can help me.

Anyone ever find a bear den or some sort of fox burrow in an old cellar hole? I have found a large one that I dont dare enter right now. 3 dead mangled turkeys around a very densely wooded large old cellar. 1830s. I can't even jump into it. Probably 7ft deep stone walls and about a 6 foot mound of some sort in the center. I didnt stick around to see who inhabited it. . Land owner said on the 200 acres hes seen a handful of bears over the last 3 or 4 years. Does anyone carry while detecting deep , deep in the woods? Or am I being too cautious. Nearest home is about .75 miles away.

Good luck at the new cellar hole and yes, please carry when in the woods for safety reasons!

Trail cam is a good idea. Gen3 Glock 19 is my go to. I have to take a picture of what it looks like out there.. It's almost like a 10ft dirt igloo in the middle of this wooded cellarhole.

I haven't seen a button quite like that. I would have guessed it was a bridle button if it wasn't made of lead, and it might be too small. I like the design of it. Hope someone will have an ID.

Maybe a big cat? Do you have mountain lions in Maine yet? They've sure spread into the Midwest lately. Gary

Sounds like it's probably a Black Bear den in there.

We have some big cats. But bear is more likely. I wont be detecting near dark down there that's for sure. Luckily I always check in with the land owner hahah

Thanks! Yeah the button is the only oddball. Was hoping the star would mean military.
