Nice looking digs. The eagle button is military, does it have a letter on the shield? It appears to be Indian Wars time frame.

The button appears to have been hit right in the center so no letter is visible.

yes I believe it is the dog from a monopoly board game.

These coins were the best looking.A couple more were found but were pretty rough from the cows and fertilizer.

MonkeyBoy

Yeah--It TOTALLY looks like a CW Eagle from the back... Deceptive.

I'll agree about the Indian Wars Era "chicken" cuff button. That's the right age for it.


Man, you guys did some Serious diggin after I left! I'm a big fan of the horseshoe shaped padlock.



HEY KIRK PA! THESE AREN'T MY SITES! They are HB's, however--and the TOTAL credit for finding them goes to him. 100%. And also the generosity to host such a big, FUN event at his place. Thanks again, HB! And I loved meeting your buddies too. I made a post showing some of DG and my finds from Saturday.


Regards,


Buckles

Got a few cattle tags from Bourban Stockyards myself, both from the same property. I'm a little southwest of you guys. Guess thats where all/most of everyone's cattle ended up back in the day.............

Congrats on the finds.
