I found 3 PA state militia buttons. They look most like 19 b in Albert's book but back mark is Horstmann Philadelphia. Not sure if these are pre civil war or not. But they made my day. The other neat find was a 1930's radio show ring. "Frank Bucks Adventure Club" Aside from part of a toy motorcycle not sure if misc. brass has any goodies. Also dug part of a copper bird cage. Just 1 wheat cent and some clad coin wise but good day I think. And warm. Just had frost a few days back. Liked that better.

Buttons are SA war about 1893. They must have used area as muster point. I never looked that war up. I do know it was a camp and patrol point in CW. Camp under houses mind you. Ring I did not try to straighten on clean any better as I didn't want to break it.
