Neat Cross Button & Other Relics from New Property!

[mangum]

I had a good time Saturday saving a little history! My buddy Chuck & I came across a home site in the woods (a pile of rocks). My favorite find is the small cross cuff button. I thought it had words around the outside but a quick soak in ammonia revealed some gilt and that it was just a decoration around the edge. I also found a nice assortment of other early relics. My buddy Chuck found a Burnside bullet & an 1899 V Nickel. Can't wait to get back, I think it has a lot of potential.

Looks like there is some great potential in that site. Thanks for the ID on that "piece of oil lantern". I've found the same one before and had never identified it.

Looks like a great site! That button cleaned up really well. Love the old compact too.
