Today at work, on my non-"smoking" break, I detected for a bit. This beauty (1864 IH) read at +50 (bottlecap) on my MXT. I figured if I get rid of the junk, maybe I'll find some good stuff. I gotta dig more bottlecaps. She is in great condition for New England soil.

The "brooch" read as a penny, and the button as foil, I think. Any help on the button would be appreciated.

Great shape on the Indian, dug the same button, hope you get some info. I was told that it was a button for a school uniform, or a blazer, late 1800's.
 
Nice Indian Head cent and buttons. If you found them on a short break
Just think what you could find after a few hours. That place could be loaded. :thumbsup:
 
Congratulations on the banner Bryce.
 
Any idea what the stone is? Looks pretty good and preserved from the pic. Setting may be corroded, but looks like it might be a gem, especially considering the era and the setting. Pls let us know.
 
Can you see an "L" on the headress ribbon at the back of the neck? Nice shape IH either way. :thumbsup:
 
Noodle, no idea on the stone, I'll try to find out. I figured it was just glass. It's about the size of a dime.

Cheyenne, no "L" that I could make out. Thanks.
 
Love the quickies, the lunchtime hunts. One signal, and it's a good day.
Found my first Revolutionary War Era buckle, my first Civil War US buckle, + lots of other neat stuff.
Keep using the time...... :icon_pirat:
