Back on the Cutoff and need ID help on Dave's finds..

[Jim in Idaho]

We were out on another section of the Cutoff today, and Dave had all the luck. First he found an interesting medallion about 2" x 1 3/4", of brass, with a large star in the center, with 4 smaller stars in a circular pattern beneath. Later he found a token for 2 1/2c from Miller's Famous Resort at the N.E. corner of 8th & Main (no city). Pics below. Anybody has ideas on these, we'd appreciate the help.

Nice finds and great pictures of that token!

It was a bit beat up, but flattened it between two pieces of pine with my arbor press, and put in CLR for 10 minutes to get rid of the grime. A little side lighting to bring out the type, with my Olympus TG-2, and Voila!....LOL

Another friend said the brass item is a heelplate. I hadn't thought of that.

Yes, it does look like a heel plate. Nice finds.

Heard from another forum the heel plate is Civil War era 1860-1880, and worn only by sergeants. It was found about 1 1/2 miles east of where I found the civil war medallion from a cartridge box 10 days ago.

How in heck did you find that, Nif? They want $24.00 to see what it sold for. I'm going to send the link to Dave, and he can decide if HE wants to pay the $24 to find out what it's worth, since he found it...LOL Many thanks, Buddy...I owe you one!
