I've been playing in the woods last couple of weeks and found a couple of things.
The small bottle was unearthed from the atv's in the area.Also found some more
old buttons-one is small with a three masted sailing ship on it-back reads rich gold.
The shiny button has an eagle clutching an anchor--think around WWII.Found plenty
of keys,a buckle,iron whatsit,two teeny weeny bullets,christina's name plate that was
folded in three,a 1945 quarter that I dug 10 inches for and the costume pin that
was found stuck to the bottom of my sons sneaker LOL.We lucked out on the snow
but got alot of rain instead so the ground was good and wet.Any info on the ship
button would be dandy.Any guesses on the iron?HappyHunts
I forgot to say I found atleast 30 shot gun shell butts!

Nana-anything in particular you would like to see close-up?

Shermanville--no marks on the bottle except the lines up the side.

Hollowpointred--the key is probably from the 40s-50s.

Nice finds!! That iron thing is some type of buckle, try some wd-40, a wirebrush, and a soft mallet and you might be able to get it to work again :)

Here ya go guys-its a new camera so I hope there bigger.I dont know if you can make out
the ship and the button is 1/2 in. in diameter.

Jake--after you mentioned it,it does look like a buckle.Big buckle.I'll see if I can work it loose again
and post a pic.

I can't believe that pin still has all the stones in it! Does it have any writing on the back?

Very nice button too! (I don't know anything about buttons but it's a nice one!) ;D

Gonna have to go and see if I can find that bird!

....you did good on the pictures!

;)

Newbie here, been reading for a while, but finally signed up. Hope to get an Ace 250 this spring. Anyway, I have one of those bird keychains also, found it in a stash of my father's old foreign money from his travels in the service. Anyone have any idea what it is?
