🥇 BANNER Found my DREAM BUTTON....then found three more!

[Gridwalker306]

I have been detecting for seven years, I've dug a zillion buttons, many old Customs buttons. I have dreamed of digging a North West Mounted Police button since day one. Today it finally happened, and four of them! It's been a while since I had a dug item really stall my brain out and leave me slack jawed haha.

The NWMP formed in 1873 and existed with that title until 1903. In 1874 287 officers made the famous ride West through these parts. This is the outer fringes of the oldest of the old for my area. Not many officers, and for a relatively short time. The land owner told me he knows exactly where a small group of officers camped, not far from the farm where I found these buttons. Can't wait to check it out.

I just gently dry brushed them, no water. The image of the Buffalo face is really cool. Thanks for looking


**** I found another one early this morning, I'm updating a group shot of all five***

That's a great day, and should be a banner day! I haven't seen one of those posted in quite a few years.

Hopefully you get the votes to get your first banner!

Isn't that the way it works? Dream of a certain find for years and then finally find it, others follow like there's no tomorrow. In your case alll in the same day. Lol
Congrats and hope you can sleep tonight!!

Wow, thanks Iron Patch. A banner vote coming from you means a lot. Anything NWMP is historically significant, and I am beyond thrilled with them. I have three hours tomorrow morning, guess where I'll be?
