Yesterday I found a couple of buttons (Hamilton Carhartt and Levi Strauss) and a small comb (E Atkins Saws, Finest On Earth) at a site I've been to 4 times now. The cabin site dates from the 1850's - 1930's. They ground sluiced for gold in the area.
Some other things that I found at the site...
suspender buckle in perfect shape with patent date March 17, 1885
old ad for the buckle
Shirley President buckle
old pocket knife
tool I've never seen before.
piece of salt glazed ceramic that held seltzer water from Germany
flag grommet patent Aug 26, 1884
sad iron, parts of Hawley Norton small animal trap, bone handled fork, part of clay pipe with McDougall, Glasgow on opposite sides.
I've dug about 150 shell casings. Some headstamps of note (I think): No 10 US Conical Climax, WRA Co 5 06, UMC S & WR, UMC Co No 10 New Club, and two dual pin rimfire casings with no headstamps.
panned a little gold from the creek.
