Recent finds around Jackson

Haven't been able to get out much been doing projects and gardening on my day off. This week I did A little on my lunch break in a ballfield and today detected an old farmhouse and found a few keepers. I found the barber, buffalo nickel, and six wheats in a spill so that was cool. Found the shield nickel and Civil War cuff button not far from each other and promised that shield nickel to the owner because he had documentation that his family bought the property in 1867. Crotal bell has a nice ring to it From what I can tell the floral button dates 1830-1840. Lots of fun relics. Felt good to get out I've been itching. Thanks for looking happy hunting, Griff.

Killer assortment of digs bro!! Great coins! - love the Barber and Shield nic. Very cool to give back to the property owner with his family history.
That medal, knife and floral button are cool but my favorite 2 relics are the crotal bell and that very cool sailboat buckle!!!
Congrats

I guess I didn't see this post. Your badge has to do with the Spanish-American war. Nice finds.
