Confederate Button, Silver, and a Gold Nugget!

[BuckleBoy]

Hello All,

Catching up with a video of the last digs of 2020 and compiling the year-end post. Pandemic left us with more digging time than usual due to being stir crazy during the shut down...so we broke several of our records

Got some goodies already from 2021, had a good buddy come visit to dig and more, so I’m looking forward to this new year. Enjoy the video,

Buck

Hmmm perhaps I should have considered the things you mentioned as criteria before I sent out an attempt to add to friends list. heh

Looks like some nice finds Buckle. Always enjoy your posts, (and videos - You tube or not).

It was a great video of finds. Congratulations on the successful hunts. Glad to see your post. So you think the gold was out of a pouch and used as payment? That would be a first for me it being trade gold.

HH

yes I believe it was. Not much other reason it’d be there aside from coming out of a “poke.”

Best Wishes,

Buck

Congrats on the finds. The button, the coins, the relics and finding gold! That's awesome. Please share with me about the ring stamped "coin." What's the deal with that?

It’s made out of “coin silver,” which means it’s 90% silver as opposed to sterling. Was a common marking back in the mid 1800s

Thank you. You taught me something today.
