HEAVYMETALNUT · Nov 19, 2011

Got out with gary(foundationhunter) for a bit today.we went back to a site that Gary nabbed a 1812 classic head and a 1820's excelsior button the last time we were there.
today I got a few buttons,a rivet type fastener with a train on it.a HUGE batwing type buckle, a small shield buckle & a 1810 classic head large cent.was a good day.ticks were plentiful & they still pop like popcorn when ya hold the Bic to em :lol:

5 am i was still not quite awake and forgot my camera.sorry no site pics :no:

Huh.. any idea what the thing is that says patent? I found something near here thats exactly like that, I accidentally broke mine in about the same place yours is.

Cool digs! Is that a train on that one button? I found one exactly like that here in MO and didn't get it to clean up quite that nice. I thought it was an old button with a train on it, but never could quite make it out. Thanks for the pics!

Nice

The train button and big buckle rocks. Congrats!Very nice finds

Nice!

That Batwing Buckle is probably a British, or possibly French, Sword Cross Plate Buckle.

It is Revolutionary War Period.....nice!

Nice relics, Dave, and one more copper towards your goal, congrats!

Incredible hunt. Is that one piece silver? That 1810 largie is amazing. Over 200 years old. Your finds always amaze me.

Nice dig.

Found the identical railroad button a couple of weeks ago - I understand it's from a railroad worker's coat... Have found some other items here that confirm a railroad worker lived here and was working around 1910-1920. That huge buckle is ridiculously cool and the LC is sweet as well! Great outing!

I dug one of these just this week. I'd love to know too. Mine has a little more of the skinny end intact. Looks like it might have been some sort of handle or tool for something.

Those are some nice keepers, great hunt. We found a similar train button, see attached. Any idea on its age?

Your finds cleaned up well. How do you clean your relics?
