So it's been a long, long while since I've posted anything!!! So in stead of making a post about each treasure find I'm mashing them all together. Sorry pics aren't going to be as nice this time.

At the 1800's place I found a glass button and marble (anyone know the ages for these two?), a COMPLETE ink bottle and an almost complete blue bottle. I found a military button, a harmonica reed, a buckle, an old cork, hook and and iron buckle. Here are the photos:

Next I found these 4 police buttons and Canada Post Office buttons all close together buried deep in someone's gravel driveway (I got permission). Not sure how that happened!!! Maybe the police officer was having a fight with the mail man and both lost their buttons??? Lol here they are:

Next we have 2 game tokens and a Viking bead (modern). I found them in Gimli where they always (not this year cuz of covid) have a Viking Village set up with acts and stuff. Also have a silver 1960 quarter found at my friends house in Gimli.... she let me have it:20200903_213750.jpg20200903_215128.jpg20200903_213750.jpg

Here is a hefty silver brooch found at a yard sale for 50 cents and a small silver ring I found in the junk my Grama was giving us (no offense Grama lol):

Last but not least is a silver dime found in my sisters jar (she made me pay her a buck to keep it lol), and my neighbour who I mow the lawn for is moving so he gave me a ton of change. So not only did I get an extra $21 bucks but also a few wheats and 2 older canadian pennies. Oldest wheat was 1925!!! 95 years old!!!20200903_204724.jpg20200903_204702.jpg20200903_213914.jpg
Thanks for getting this far down!! If you know anything about the old marble and glass button (first batch of pics) please let me know!! HH

I believe the bottle you are calling an ink bottle is actually a glue bottle.
 

Thanks!!!
 

It says ink on the bottom
 

Very nice marble. I find them around my house (early 1900's) all the time. It's always a pleasure to find them. Good job!

OK thanks! It's not perfectly round so I was sure it was older
 

Nice finds Mvgirl! Love the silvers!

Also, you aren't the only one who has to buy the old coins off of your siblings lol. My sisters make me do the same, even if its a beat up wheatie... come on sis.

For me that would be a exceptional hunt silver, ink bottle and a cool marble that’ll get my juices flowing [emoji1360]
Well the silver was found on a different hunt. But yah... they are great finds

LOL!!! Now that they know that silver coins are worth money, they won't even let me search their coins even though they don't search for them themselves!!! They think that I shouldn't be "making money off of them"... but hey if you don't care about the silver and old coins... why not trade with someone who cares about them??? It's really annoying and I don't get their logic.

Same! Actually I have two sisters and only one of them is like that, the other one brought me home a handful of coins to look at the other day and gave me a couple walking liberties and a silver quarter! My one sister though, she's just like yours it seems.

LOL! Wow nice!!! I don't mind trading with them, that's only fair. And if they want a bit extra for the silver... well it's not fair cuz they don't care enough to search for themselves but whatever ill do it. But to not let me search at all??? What??? Sisters. You love em but hey... they not always easy to live with LOL.
 

Dedicated treasure hunter I see hitting it at every corner! Good for you.

Thanks! Yes I've really branched out in my searching. Started with metal detecting and now I'm searching yard sales and thrift stores and scoring big time
