Great digs.

The button could be Civil War era, I'm not sure by your pic. Is it marked on the back?? I'm sure someone will know more. Or post it in the "What is It" section.

Congrats, I like all of your finds and you worked hard to find them.

Kia ora Greenie,
Awesome finds. Looks like a range of ages.

I think I can identify the blue item,
on the left in the last pic, as an original 1716 iPod

Cheers, Mike

In the buttons photo, the one on the left looks like a blazer button; the one on the right is a mid-1800's New York Militia staff button, c. 1858 or later.

Nice digs Rick, I really like the pocket watch rim. I found one similar recently. Great idea offering the free mow, I'm a landscaper too and have ofter pondered the thought of tecting some of my customers properties!

Rick,
I'm surprise that you found your first croat bell...with all the old coins and stuff you have found. I found my first croat bell even before I found my first IH. Funny how things go. Those bells are very cool.

Gotta be more there. Good luck.
