Block "I" w Stars and Others

We had a productive week. A friend of mine located a possible dump/pit/house on his property. It was a large mound of head sized rocks and he started finding a lot of iron signals, a couple eagle buttons and some utensils. So, we started to remove stones and dig deeper and it has been producing ever since. Pictured below, is what I have found so far. The most notable for me was the Block "I" with stars. The stars are a little hard to see in this pic, but if you look closely around the sides you can see tiny bumps. The half dollar is 1825, and the large cent is 1817. I also believe that the handle might be a bone handle, but I'm not sure.

Other items found in the hole were a CSA Coat button, Virginia Coat button, two eagle breast plates, lots of flat buttons, a couple small bottles, broken pottery and glass and mini balls and round balls.

Looks like you all are in a good spot. Those block I's with stars are not a common find.

The best find there is the "I" button with the stars--by Far!


Sweet finds! I'd love to see a photo of the CW plates and other buttons.

Keep it swinging, if you got them, there has got to be more of the same or something better just waiting on you, Ken.

Re: Block "I" w Stars and Others

I have to agree with Will, the Block "I" with stars is by far the best and the most rare type of block "I". I have one too.
