Silver Soldier's Dog Tag with provenance, Button spill, and more...

I managed to get out to the park this morning for a couple of hours. I wasn't planning on hunting, but I was in the area. I hopped out and hit the ground running. I detected a section I hadn't hit before, close to the street... and dug everything. I won't bore you with my pennies, or the bent spoon.

Refresh to resize my pics...

Here's the good stuff.

Old "Canada Post Office" buttons and solo military button spill



"88" Shamrock Token



Little gilted buckle and button

Happy hunting!

No, you just have to know how to track them down. But the more distant, the less point there is in bothering to talk to them.

It hasn't been easy. This line of Sharmans were happy with one child.... down the line it seems.

What would Iron Patch do?

I'm about ready to get in touch with some museums. I was thinking the Artillery museum would be a good one to contact.

I would take my time and see if I could find a family member who would appreciate it, but I would NEVER - EVER donate it to a museum. It would stay in my case in my collection.

sweet history there!

Wow speechless- what an amazing find and story. And all the history and great people involved. I'm sure this will find the resolve it deserves. Museum piece. Although for now you seem to be the best custodian- keeping his memory alive!
