hey fellow treasure hunters.
Redcardhack and i are working on an 1860's rehab.house..
on our break and lunch we get our detectors out.
here are the coins i found so far. the button found we are not sure who found it.
i found it when i was going threw our junk. it was caked with mud.
i almost tossed it..glad i didn't.
anyway like always it's a good day when we get to hunt..
Redcardhack is getting back surgery in a week.
He will be out of commission for a month or so..
it will suck not being able to hunt with him.
good luck Red hope you heal up quickly.
happy hunting.
OWG...

Very cool finds! I am jealous. I have not had the opportunity to hunt any home sites older than 1940 lol.

Awesome old coin and relic hunt!

That last thing looks like a flower vase stem holder. You put it in the bottom of the vase and then stick the flower stems into it to hold them exactly in place

The owner of the house was in the CW, maybe it was his button, 5th regiment Ohio K company

i'm thinking it was used as a button?

Very nice finds, especially the LC. Funny that it has two holes in it. Don't think I've seen that before.

Maybe a wizzer toy?
Great finds I hope Redcardhack get better fast.

OWG, Thanks for not pitching the button, the fact that the cuff button was dug was awesome but to be able to link it back to the Owner of the house is just cool. To find the button and the provenance seems almost certain or beyond a reasonable doubt that it belonged to him..Great finds today too btw, a merc. and an SLQ!!

 

[RedCardHack]

Treblehunter, thanks for the well wishes, I hope it's not too long before I'm digging!!
