Couple keepers and a whatsit ?button?

[Murray8144]

Did a little digging today. It's hole was a 1902 V Nickel and the last hole was a Rosie



In between those two I dug a nickel signal that turned out to be some kind of small, concave button-type thing. very small. maybe the front to a two-piece button? looks to have two rifles or muskets crossed. any ideas?

I see a "P" above the crossed guns and a word that almost looks like "waiting" under them

Good thing you got plenty of silvers to find because your non silver finds get pretty toasted in your soil. Mostly the same for me except for the lots of silver part

Yeah I hear you. I've dug several interesting DEEP copper objects from a park from which Ive dug a 1723 kg1 and several musket balls...all are just barely too toasted to be identifiable (including the one above). Sucks because I just know it's rev war schwag.

See how the v nick still looked decent when first out of the hole then the air killed it. Im guessing the button is the front to a two piece and possibly WWI infantry

Sweet digs Murray. How many hunt in a row have you pulled silver?

Thanks all!

Not sure, but not many. I do lots of short-duration hunts...an hour here an hour there. I win some and I lose some. Luckily for me I live in an area with countless urban parks that will likely cough up years and years worth of post-seated finds. The part of the hobby that has stumped me is getting older stuff.

Nice Murray nice. Very consistent performance!

Could that be a top of a small snuff tin?
