That ain't no junk == that's some real lost history, of many moons ago.

Hey Cman, here are Dman and my rules for a "Good Day" relic hunting:
1. Did you find at least one CW relic each?
2. Did we have fun?
3. Did anyone get hurt?
If the answers to #1 and 2 are "Yes" and "No" to # 3, it's been a good day.
Nice relics there. Rarely do you find a good solid hoof pick anymore. Where was your "good luck charm" who likes to dig bullets today HH

It look's like a branch with some berry's on it.....also there's another animal on the side.Too bad it's pushed.

Maybe try a rubbing of the button? Thin piece of paper and the edge of a pencil?
That's a great looking button. Good finds in the iron dept as well.

Nice lookin finds. Nothing super, but still some nice old relics.

In the first photo, what is the object on the top right? Large ring with something on the top of it. I dug something similar and have no clue what it is. Hopefully you can help me ID it .

Thank you,
Anthony

Looks like a llama or alpaca with the long neck. Interesting button Civil. Try a wooden skewer

Here's the cleaned up back to my flat button....Say's "RICH ORANGE COLOUR". The "Ball Button" has another animal on the side (button is pushed in) that kind of look's like a Heyena.....Has anyone seen a Ball button before with a scene on it Most are plain or can this be customized to the owner's liking.Thank's for looking and HH!!

Re: And Here's My Junk For The Day.....Updated Pic's....

The two round things could be a bola or a bolo.

This bola was probably used some 50,000 years ago and also varies in weight and size depending on the game. This self centering bola is the easiest to master. Like all bolas, with the exception of the Bola Perdida, it is a weapon of entanglement.
The third ball, or Maneja, is slightly lighter than the other two. Some Maneja are egg shaped and the one held in the hand. The slip joint always centers it which creates the natural spread from the thrower to the target. It was made famous by Gaucho's when hunting the Guanaco.

Basically a hunting weapon.
