My Paw Paw gave me a lot of his old finds from over the years. Many of the buttons were washed up when a rain storm would come about....Also the large military button (MY FIND) matches the smaller one that he found... Thought it was neat ! Maybe a cuff??

I'm glad you found out what the T shaped one were. I just found one of them in Campwood Tx. while on the Uvalde hunt. I had no Idea what it was. Looks like some nice finds you Paw Paw gave you. Now you need to find where he was looking a give those places a visit. Good luck.....

I found one of them while I was on my Ghost Town trip with my buddy.... I had no clue what it was, it looks like some sort of 'tag'... But now that the picture is posted and I mentioned to my paw paw what they were and he said that was exactly right !

He found the majority of the buttons and stuff in his back yard in town....After some sand was poured he said...
