Button, Buckle ID Help. Found at the 1835 Homestead

[crazyjarhead]

Hello everyone. I will get right to my finds tonight and not bore you with all of my gossip. I went back to my favorite spot tonight for 3 hours. I worked the grassy area out in the side yard. I have hunted it off and on but not super good as I have spent most of the time in the front yard and near the house. I went real slow and cranked the sensitivity up and dug every signal, iffy or not.

Dug my 15th IH tonight at this place since last June. First one in the 1900 range. The others all have been in the 1800's. Found another button and this one has a makers mark on it. I used a skewer to clean it up so i could read it. It reads" Rich Gold Colour? I think it says colour?? Also found some kind of buckle. Any idea's Found some kind of weird looking piece that looks like something off of a lamp top or something. Also found some kind of lid or cap.

Thanks for looking Ron

Nice going on that site!

cool finds, on a site like that I would dig EVERY signal above iron, you NEVER know what still lurks below!

Your buckle is part of a suspender clip. The tall-tale sign is the little "teeth" to grab the fabric when it is fed through.


Cool finds!


P.S.--Great cleaning job on that flat button.

One piece looks like a finial off an old lamp. the other looks like a buckle from a shoe. Nice finds.

Nice finds! Anything on the end of that piece with a crown on it? Looks like a seal matrix to me, they were used into the mid 1800s. HH, Mike

You know what? I just never get tired of going over there. There is something mystical about hunting it. It's quiet for one and nobody will ever bother me. Why don't you come down and hunt it with me??

 

[Goes4ever]

seriously if I had that house to hunt as much as I wanted too, I would hunt it everyday till no signals but iron remained, I would dig everything I do not care how iffy, what do you have to lose? I bet you'd be surprised to what comes up on some of those deep iffy signals

Nice button and buckle. I to found a few flat buttons today. Used the method posted in the cleaning and preservation section,,With one exception. I didn't have any toothpicks or skewers. So i went out back and broke a pine limb and used it. Worked well.
