Great site & great coins.
I assume the Eagle I button is CW era, Is the Gen, service a post CW one as I think it is?
Both are nice Finds.
Davers

The Gen Service "Button" is actually part of a stamped brass tongue buckle circ 1850's. Looks like a button in the pic but is explained the video.

Thanks for looking!
 
Kinda thought the same thing..
Somebody's likely got their 'screen lights' on video ,saying their UFO's or "Ghost Lights'.

Yeah, we often joke about how many people have seen a UFO or even a Big Foot !! We have had police stop and check us out. But we are not doing anything that they can ticket us for, so we just chat with them and thank them for checking.
 
That is awesome stuff. I didn't watch the vid but was all that found in the West?
 
Wow! Incredible hunt with some incredible finds!
 
Great finds Ron.

All found at a old house site in Northern California. OLD OLD OLD for us out here!!
 
Outstanding Guys! Congrats on those super sweet finds.
Thanks for shooting the video.
Good luck on your next hunt.
