Large Cent, Dandy, Flat Buttons, Badge

[pa-dirt_nc-sand]

Hit a old farmstead in the park woods this weekend. Stone chimney is all that is left standing.

Got an awesome 30-31 signal only 4” deep in the area that would have been the side yard.

Our pops my first Large Cent in several months.


Matron Head 1828, I think.

Then I got a zincoln signal and a badge appears.


It is slightly curved. Too big for a walking staff badge. I think it might be an old bicycle head badge, but was not able to find a match. Any ID help/guesses appreciated.

Also found 4 flat buttons in this section of the woods.



I was surprised with the dandy button. I think a button like this dates to the late 1700’s.

Here is the handful.

I think the silver washed piece is half of a cuff link and also a partial suspender clip with some fancy.

This piece has me intrigued.

If it was a spoon the maker stamps would be on the stem, right? The notch seems intentional. Is this some kind of tool?

Oh, I did dig one mandatory spoon...


It was fun to get into some real old stuff again. (For W PA) Will go back when the weeds clear out a bit more for sure.

Good luck out there!

Nice finds. I think the badge might be more for an old vehicle on the radiator cap. They were personalized with the owners initials.

Thanks for the ID. Looks like they were used on the big ornamental radiator fixtures in the 1920’s.
