Two LC's already this year, I passed last years total already. Found two Indians, 1887 and the other is toast. Found my very first crotal bell, broken but I'll take it. A few cars, two pocket knives, a pile of clad, a Jewish star and some interesting buttons, one is ornate the other two are heavy and pretty thick, never dug ones like that before. Also had a nice coin spill with 3 wheats and a silver dime. 2017 looking good so far. HH hunting everyone and thanks for looking..

That button is quite a find-did you realize what you had before Tnetters responded to your post? Please post pictures of the front and back after you have cleaned it.

Congratulations! :occasion14:

The other one is an intact blowhole button-not as good of a find as the rattlesnake but a really good find nonetheless. Take a toothpick and clean out the two holes on the button and you'll see why they are called "blowhole" buttons.

You are on a very good, old site-keep working it and you're sure to find more quality relics.

I honestly had no idea, that's why I love and appreciate this site so much. I thought it was just an old button... thanks everyone. I'll will post more pictures in a bit.

Add the cleaned pics to this post and delete the other thread. Message the moderaters to try and get the thread title change and this button will still have a chance to make banner
