I managed to get out a few times and found a few cool things. As you can see I found another gun part, which I believe to be to another Colt revolver (Serial #148508), a concho, powder can top, GS Eagle buttons, civilian buttons, & 1869 S dime.
But the coolest find for me was the adjuster hook for a sword belt. It is marked STORMS which I found out from TheCannonballGuy was the manufacturer of the Yankee sword belts. He said this was an "extra special" find as not to many he has seen are marked. Thank You CannonballGuy for the insight into this info. you provided me!
I included a picture of it next to a rifle sling hook I found from a previous hunt many years ago from the same general area.
Also, I found a cool brass 4 hole button with the clothiers names on it from S.F. From what I researched they were in business in 1875 at 121 Montgomery St. S.F. (MAYER & HIRSHFELD)
I went out for a third hunt yesterday and found these two cool finds along with another GS coat sized eagle button and Chinese coin. The set of 6 skeleton keys I thought was very cool as to me it shows that this person was someone of importance. The suspender buckle is older than the hundreds of other ones I dig (from 1870's sites) that are stamped brass, nickel, etc. This one is two to three times thicker and pretty fancy! This of course is only going from experience, having found other types of suspender buckles like this from older sites from the 1850's-1860's.
Thanks for looking!
