Found this token at my favorite spot today, here in Southern California. There is not much at all if any info online on this exact token. Only 1-2 pics online. front: Troop A 4th Cavalry, back: The brunswick Balke Collender CO (Picture of a billiards table) I would like to know the history...

Today while detecting around an Indiana house built in the early 1900's, I came across this button. It is obviously in the style of a military type button, but I noticed it did not have a raised edge nor horizontal banding, as on other military buttons I have seen. Was this a replica for...

I recently picked these up from a guy and neither of us knew much about them other than they are from horse bridles from the US Calvary. I was wondering if anyone knows how old these are and if they are rare. The little ones are 1 1/4" in diameter and are crimped to leather and the larger ones...

Hello there all.... I recently picked these up from a guy and neither of us knew much about them other than they are from horse bridles from the US Calvary. I was wondering if anyone knew what the whole set of four would be worth about- The little ones are 1 1/4" in diameter and are crimped...

So here is my best find from yesterdays 1hr hunt. This is button is a little smaller then a dime. The reverse side reads "William Wallis" "No.1 Extra Fine" Cant seem to find much info on this button other then Wallis produced buttons in England (I think) until 1828? Any help would be...

Last year I found this button at a park in Indiana that has been in existence for over 100 years. It appears to be a military button that has been shot through. My questions are - Is this a real military button? If so, is there any way of telling which war it comes from. It appears to have...

Not exactly treasure, but does anybody know where this French military button is from??

Does anyone have any information on the watch maker Peseux? I have found Pegeux and Pejoux but not one Peseux. Says Peseux 173 on face. Inside it says 15 jewel Swiss Made. Back cover says Made In Switzerland Stainless Steel Back 31291. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Wondering if anyone has any more information about this box. I believe it is from the 1950's. I really don't know much about it. Really looking for what they are called and how they were used. It is a great kit but would like to know more. Sorry if they are sideways, they uploaded that way 3...

Looking for a copy of the manual for a Vallon VMC1 detector. Format doesn't matter, as long as it is legible. I am willing to pay a reasonable amount and for shipping if necessary.

I have had this WW1 American helmet of some time now but have never really taken the time to examine it closely. Upon my inspection I discovered markings that read H5 477. The 5 may be an s but looks more like a 5 to me. I need information as to what these markings mean. Speculations are...

Hello, First time poster, long time reader. Just starting detecting last week and today discovered a toy soldier in my yard. I'm just not sure if I should leave it as is or try to clean off the corrosion. If I should clean it-- what should I use? Thanks for looking!

Freshly off the field - yesterday's find. Very clean! :thumbsup:

Perhaps British army? I couldn't read it because it so small , it is also thin or worn. I scanned it in to try to read it better and looks like latin words. There is nothing written on the back. It is the exact same size as a U.S. One Cent penny. Anyone know what this is? I live in Savannah...

Button found yesterday in Lancaster, SC. Here are some better close up pics. Motto "AUT VINCERE AUT MORI" on front with a big "A" in center. Nothing on back. This is the motto of the First Fighter Wing.... Any info?

Today I had the whole morning to myself so I decided to head back to a hunting spot that I found last year... This is only the 3rd time I've been there and each time I've only had one goal in mind and that is to find at least 1 musket ball... The first couple of hunts produced just a few but...

OK, one last button for the night. This one is brass. On the back it reads very faintly "Steele Johnson" I can't make out the other word. It measures 2 cm. Any info is appreciated!
