    Rare Eagle Button and other relics!

    Heres my finds from the past two hunts in the last week. Josh Sherman and myself get out together quite abit and I dug this really nice and may I say BIG buckle while scouting a location. Pulled the boy scout book mark from there as well. Also scouted another camp site and found this really cool Eagle button with an IRON back. Now, from my knowledge, I've never dug an Eagle with an iron back....BUT.....sometimes KEPI Eagles were made with iron backs so I'm told by some old timers...I've dug quite a few cuffed sized eagles but this represents a first with the ironback! Its in pretty good shape...also dug som camp lead and a Colt from that spot....Got a real nice 1883 Injun as well. HH

    Of all the Boy Scout items I've found over the years (And I've found some real unique stuff) I've never found a book mark, nice find on that & the IH.

    Great finds, Sentinel. I like it all, hard to say which one is my favorite, but that Eagle button is pretty sweet, and of course you can do a lot worse than to find a nice IH like that ;-D

    Like the buckle and the leads, too

    Great finds. Hey, That looks like my cleaning brush in the background there. Here's a tip: When the brushes start to flare out...Just trim them with a pair of scissors.It's like a brand new brush..or you could just buy another. Great finds and I'm sure more to come from you. HHHH

    Cool button. Never seen nor heard of iron backed buttons. I guess you were digging every tone. Nicely done.
