LC, Shield, CW token & button, & more

A hunt this evening on a new spot turned out productive. This is probably the last field site I can hunt this Spring because most of the fields are now planted. The LC is 1837, can't get a date off of the Shield Nickle yet. The Patriotic token says Our Army on one side, Our Navy on the other. This makes #3 of that particular style of token I have found. The ring is pretty cool, there are tiny bumps around the perimeter of the ring. Can someone please clarify for me the item in the top center. It has the look of a colonial buckle but as you can see, it is very small and thin also. First thing I thought was that maybe it was colonial and from a kids pair of shoes. Maybe it is just a buckle for some other purpose. Thanks for looking.

Nice civil war era finds. The LC looks to be in pretty nice shape. The buckle may be a small sash buckle. Being stamped brass it is not colonial, but I think it is probably mid 1800s.

Thanks for the clarification Steve on the buckle. It would be rare if one shows up in my neck of the woods. I think you are correct on the date as the site I was hunting was in the 1840-70 era. The LC came out of sandy soil and I haven't even washed it off yet, may not.

Very nice finds Mark! Post some of your mounts for these folks to see...

Talk to you soon buddy
OK Mike, I finally posted pics on the My Daily Snapshot forum. I appreciate your interest in my profession. I sure hope I can get down there and meet you and James sometime. Is it warm enough for you down there? My parents just got back last night and they said it stayed in the mid-90's most of the week. Too bad the heat doesn't kill ticks. Talk to you again later!

I have sold some tax tags before but I didn't know there was a book of them out there. I'll have to do some searching. Thanks for the info.

You'll get one eventually. I have always been curious if you have ever found any coins in any of the bottles you have dug. :icon_scratch:
