The owner of the 1895 house teardown has decided not to build and the property is for sale, so I went back and detected it some more. Today's finds include a 1920 wheatie, an eagle button with the backmark of Horstmann Philadelphia (no shank) which was a huge surprise at this property, and poor Pam lost her Timex back that is 10K rolled gold plated-looks thick. Gold sure looks nice coming out of the dirt, and the button must have been kicked out by the bulldozer as it was on top. The button could be 1893-1935 per some internet posts, or if the eagle is compared with the Scovills backmark variety it could be 1875-1902. I'm happy! Cindy
